Description of Issue: CMS reported a system issue on 04/08/21 - 04/15/21, that prevented Medicare Part A and B (including Durable Medical Equipment) crossover claims from crossing to certain supplemental payers. The issue was corrected on 04/16/21; however, the system issue impacts claims finalizing through approximately 04/25/21, for electronic claims and 05/11/21, for paper claims. Additionally, extraneous claims were crossed over to entities that normally would not receive these claim types.
