Reason Code 29 | Remark Code N211 - JA DME

Common Reasons for Denial

• The time limit for filing has expired. Claims must be filed within one year of the date of service. If an act of nature, such as a flood, fire, or there are other circumstances outside of the supplier's control, you can appeal the timely filing, by providing this explanation.

Next Step

• This denial cannot be appealed unless there was an act of nature, such as a flood, fire, or there are other circumstances outside of the supplier's control, then a Redetermination request may be submitted with all relevant supporting documentation. Noridian encourages Redeterminations/Appeals be submitted using the Noridian Medicare Portal.

How to Avoid Future Denials

• Review the date of service prior to submitting the claim. All claims must be filed within one year of the date of service.
• Reopenings must be submitted one year from initial determination date or after one year from receipt date due to overpayment via clerical error omissions
