How Do I Get The UTN On My Claim?


The UTN (unique tracking number) comes from the Preclaim Review Decision Letter you receive from Medicare.  Barnestorm does not have access.  These are the steps to get this number into Barnestorm and onto your claim:
  • In Barnestorm Office, go to Billing > PPS Billing > Edit PPS Episodes
  • Type in the chart number and select the episode.
  • Type the UTN number (14 characters) into the Pre-Claim Review UTN field.

  • Once typed in, the entry will be automatically saved.  You will receive this popup:

Note:  It is extremely important to follow the procedures to get the UTN as soon as possible.  We have seen this cause several billing delays, as well as agency's losing revenue due to the timely filing limit expiring before they can obtain the UTN.  **For any direct questions on the PreClaim Review Process, please contact Medicare.
