Change for Billing and Medical Review Notices

CMS has issued a memo, MM8268, stating that MACs are to redact the HICN number on all MRNs. MRNs are reconsideration request forms. The HICN will only show partial with asterisks in front, similar to what some credit card companies do when sending you a statement. This is to begin January 1, 2014.
