The Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has redesigned its Electronic Data Base (EDB). As a result of this redesign, their edits have become more restrictive. You may have noticed that on the Medicare Buy-in Action Lists, from November 2003 through the present, there has been a significant increase in errors denoted by the Code 2161B. The definition for this error has been changed to read: "THE CLAIM NUMBER IN THE ACCRETION ACTION MATCHES THE CLAIM NUMBER ON THE EDB RECORD; HOWEVER, PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS DIFFER”.
