Summary
This policy document is a CMS transmittal resource guide for agents and brokers working with the Federally-facilitated Marketplace (FFM). It provides contact information, hours of operation, and resource links for various help desks and support systems. However, the document title references R13899FM regarding Part A Cost Report overpayments and Medicaid debt close-outs, but the actual policy content is missing—only the help desk directory is provided.
Action Required
This document does not contain actionable billing guidance for your medical practice. The referenced policy title (R13899FM) suggests changes to Medicare Part A cost report recoupment procedures and Medicaid debt submission criteria, but the actual policy language is not included in this transmittal. Billing team should: (1) Contact FFMProducer-AssisterHelpDesk@cms.hhs.gov or visit the Agents and Brokers Resources Webpage at http://go.cms.gov/CCIIOAB to obtain the complete R13899FM policy text; (2) Do not make any billing system changes based on this document alone, as it contains only contact directory information and resource links; (3) Request the full transmittal content from CMS to determine if Part A recoupment or Medicaid procedures require updates.
