Effective for claims received on 01-04-13 after 4:00
pm CST: Electronic claims that include the Subscriber’s
Insured Group or Policy Number (2000B/SBR03) will
receive a 999E and will be rejected on the 277CA by the
Common Edit Module (CEM).
The patient's red, white and blue Medicare card does
not contain a group number, therefore, the
2000B/SBR03 data element must not be sent.
This is CMS's logic for creating this new edit that will
reject the claim if information is present in this field.
