Avoiding RFI’s:

Make your application stick and GET PAID (avoiding an RFI (Request For Information) and rejected app):

Plan Choice: Please select (X) the appropriate Plan the Beneficiary is electing.  Even though the application is embedded in the Kit, the Plan election still must be selected.

Invalid Medicare Number:  Ensure you’ve transcribed the correct number and / or call out

Agent Support Line (HAAL) with the customer to verify the number is the card is not available or unreadable.

Missing Pages in Fax Transmittal: Refax the application immediately if there was or you suspect an error.

Physical Address:  Avoid using P.O. Box address! C-HS verifies physical address through USPS.com and if address is not deliverable, application will go to RFI status.  CMS will require “proof of physical address”.  Acceptable documents to be used as proof are:  driver’s license; voter’s registration card; property tax statement; or utility bill (utility bill is usually the easiest).  The “service address” address on a utility bill should match the physical address included on the application.  As a best practice (to save time and ensure timely processing) please include documentation along with your application submission.
