We submitted CMS-529 files last October and did not receive an HSR due to what we thought were missing MBI/HICN numbers. The SOP we submitted on most of the files was 1-Medicare. Our medical record vendor thinks this is why we didn't receive feedback due to our files not being identified as Medicare FFS patients. They advise that the SOP CMS is looking to link is 121-Medicare FFS. When we look at the specifications, it seems the value sets tied to Medicare Payer and Payer both include 1-Medicare. Our question is do we need to have an SOP of 121-Medicare FFS on these files to CMS to even recognize the files as a Medicare FFS patient to begin matching to our claims data or can it be any value included in the value sets provided in the specifications for Medicare Payer and Payer? Is that truly the only SOP CMS is looking for?
