Submitting Late Documentation to the CERT Contractor
Published 08/09/2024
The deadline for the Comprehensive Error Rate Testing (CERT) Contractor to receive late documentation for the November 2024 Report Year is August 9, 2024.
CERT samples Medicare claims during a specific report year, each with a Universe Date (the date the claim entered the Medicare system). The November 2024 Report Year is for claims with a Universe Date of July 1, 2022 – June 30, 2023. If the late documentation is received in time to complete review before the cutoff date to receive late documentation for the report, it is included in that year’s improper payment rate calculation.
