Signature Requirements Fact Sheet Now Available

A new publication from the Medicare Learning Network® titled “Comprehensive Error Rate Testing (CERT) Signature Requirements” provides the guidance necessary to avoid such denials. The fact sheet aims to educate health care providers on signature and supporting documentation requirements relating to claims submitted to Medicare. The fact sheet may be downloaded here.
