Defense Verification Page

The Defense Verification page allows you to verify the claim or claim line(s) selected for defense for the listed case ID, along with the defense type applied to the claims. This page also shows the date the MSP record was accepted by CMS. You can also use this page to upload supporting documentation for your defense. Note: You must upload at least one document in support of your defense.

This page lists the following information (read only) for claim or claim lines included in the defense request:

• Claim Control Number
  The first eight characters are masked with an asterisk if you are not logged in using multi-factor authentication (MFA).
• Claim Line Number ("0" is used for Part A claims)
• First Date of Service
  Displays for MFA users only.
• Last Date of Service
  Displays for MFA users only.
• Billed Amount
• Medicare Paid Amount

Note: Part A claims are shown first, followed by Part B claim lines. Rows are displayed in ascending order by the first date of service for Part A claims. For Part B claim lines, rows are shown in ascending order by the first date of service, and then by claim control number and claim line number.
