On December 11, 2017, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued Medicare Learning Network (MLN) Matters Article, SE17036, which provides information about new instructions recently issued to Medicare medical review contractors. The guidance also provides the standards to use when reviewing claims for compliance with the intensity of therapy requirements for inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) claims.

If you have any questions, please contact your MAC at their toll-free number, available online.
