07/12/24 - The print and mail services are restored for SPRs. Noridian is in the process of mailing all SPRs delayed by the print disruption. Newly issued SPRs will be printed and mailed as they are generated. All delayed SPRs are expected to be mailed by July 19.

07/22/24 - If providers/suppliers are missing any SPRs after 08/01/24, please follow your normal procedures to receive a duplicate.

07/12/24 - Due to the disruption in our external print and mail services, Noridian will accept appeals for denied claims included in the SPRs up to 120 days from the postmark date. This extension will allow time to gather documentation and submit appeals for any disputed claims. Our intention is to ensure all parties are afforded appropriate filing timelines for valid appeals and receive consideration for good cause in accordance with Internet Only Manual (IOM) 100-04 Chapter 29. Please include a comment with the late file rationale for the appeal to be reviewed for good cause.

Previously submitted appeals dismissed for a late file but were delayed as a result of the disruption to print and mail services, should be brought to the MACs attention. Appeals will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis to determine if good cause is established for a reopening.
