WPS GHA Portal Overpayment Claim Adjustment (OCA) Expansion 

For Medicare Part B users in the WPS GHA Portal, the change billed amount and change units have been combined into one selection in the Overpayment Claim Adjustment (OCA) process. 

The two choices that were labelled "Incorrect Number of Unit(s) Billed" and "Incorrect Billed Amount" are now combined to be "Incorrect Billed Amount/Unit(s)." The combined function can be found the Non-MSP drop down box. You can now change both fields for any applicable detail line at the same time. For users who still only need to change one of those fields, you can continue to just update one of those fields as needed.
