Steps to Cancel a RAP/NOA

1. From Barnestorm Office main screen, type in the patient name or chart number.
2. Go to Billing > PPS Billing > Edit PPS Episodes
3. Select the (RAP/NOA) episode you wish to cancel in the upper part of the screen.
4. Click the Cancel this RAP Claim tab near the middle of the screen. A pop up will appear "Are you sure you want to cancel this RAP claim?" Select Yes, if appropriate.
5. Go to Billing > PPS Billing > RAP Claims, the episode should now be included in the list of ready RAPs/NOAs to be rebilled. If it's an older claim, you may need to modify the "Episode From and Thru dates" located under the "Select Episodes For Billing" column of that screen.
6. Make the necessary changes prior to recreating the RAP/NOA for resubmission.
IMPORTANT:
• NOAs have a timely filing requirement of 5 days from date of admission.
• We recommend that you check the status of the NOA up until the NOA reaches "paid" status.
• For any rejected or denied RAPs/NOAs, review and correct those immediately, and resubmit to Medicare ASAP to avoid timely filing delays that may result in payment penalties.

Steps to Completely Remove the Episode from Tracking

1. Follow steps 1-6 above.
2. After cancelling the RAP/NOA, click the Delete This Episode tab. This completely removes the episode from showing up on PPS tracking reports.
