Update - Type of Bill (TOB) 73X

As of October 12, 2019, CMS updated the Medicare Advantage Front-end System reference data to include Type of Bill (TOB) 73X.

Based on guidelines from the National Uniform Billing Committee (NUBC), TOB 73x was discontinued for use by FQHCs in April 2010.
However, TOB 73X is still a valid bill type for other types of health clinics and for certain non-Medicare claims.

Submitters can resubmit previously submitted data that was rejected due to use of 73x.

In the event you have questions, please contact CSSC Operations at 1-877-534-2772 (option 2) or by email at csscoperations@palmettogba.com.
