Is there a time limit for responding to a “Tech Stop” request letter from CERT?
Yes, the CERT contractor permits 26 calendar days from the date of the “Tech Stop” letter for the submission of the additional documentation. WPS-Medicare places reminder calls when the additional documentation remains outstanding after 10 calendar days from the date of the “Tech Stop” letter. For additional documentation on CERT, please refer to the WPS Medicare website at http://www.wpsmedicare.
