Known Issue with UHC and Notice of Admission – Update, Resolved

As of 8:31 p.m. ET,  UHC fixed their 278N issue related to the dx code submission process. You can continue to submit your UHC NOAs with free text diagnosis codes.”

Wednesday, July 1 – UHC has indicated that a change was deployed last night in their system that causes transactions with free text admission reasons to return NOA failures. They have a ticket open internally to correct this issue, but they have not posted an ETA.  As a work around, users can resubmit NOAs through IntelliSource, eCareNEXT, or EDI with coded diagnosis codes, and those transactions will process as expected.   In IS and eCN, we have a look up tool that can help you with finding the corresponding diagnosis codes.
