  11. OPERATIONS UPDATES

  12. OPERATIONS • CSSC continues to receive inquiries after non-compliance letters are distributed via HPMS. • Plans receiving this notification generally exceed the 502-edit benchmark established by CMS. This benchmark is obtained by RAPS files that encountered a 502 edit.

  13. Operations • CSSC understands this schedule of notification may cause some confusion, however plans can monitor their 502 edit activity by reviewing the RAPS Duplicate Diagnosis Cluster Report generated after every file submission. • This report is designed to only identify diagnosis clusters with 502 edit messages. • Inclusion of dates on the HPMS notification, which will identify the weeks the file exceeded the 502 benchmark, will be explored.

  14. Operations • Please Note: CSSC Operations will be closed on Monday, May 26, 2008 in observance of Memorial Day.
