The top five are BadgerCare Plus HMO policy violations, Medicare Advantage billing errors, integrated delivery system network justification failures, regional HMO assignment errors, and Critical Access Hospital Anti-Markup Rule violations.

An LCD defines which tests Medicare covers, which diagnosis codes apply, and frequency limits. Wisconsin falls under Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) Jurisdiction 6 (J6), administered by National Government Services, with strict LCDs for molecular and genetic testing. Billing a non-covered diagnosis code triggers automatic denial and audit exposure.
