ENROLLMENT: CLAIMS

Why are our claims denying for dates of service prior to the individual provider leaving the practice?

Prior to requesting the removal of an Individual provider from your group practice ensure that the pending claims are adjudicated. However, if the provider has already been removed from the group prior to the claim(s) being adjudicated and needs to be added back to the group,  submit the request on the business letterhead with the provider’s or an authorized signature via Fax: (803) 870-9022 or Mail: Medicaid Provider Enrollment, PO Box 8809, Columbia, SC 29202-8809. Updates will be processed within ten (10) days of receipt. 

Will my claims from two weeks ago process if I just enrolled today?

Upon approval of enrollment (the provider has met all necessary requirements); the enrollment date of the provider’s effective date will retroactively begin 90 days prior to the date of receipt of the application. However, depending on the provider’s type/ specialty, if the provider is required to sign a contractual agreement in addition to the provider enrollment agreement, the enrollment date is the effective date of the contract. Note: Medicaid will not pay for claims prior to an enrollment effective date or before the provider’s licensure/certification date.

ENROLLMENT: LINK PROVIDER TO GROUP

How do I enroll a new provider who has joined our group?

Individuals can be added anytime to a group without having to pay an application fee. If an individual wants to be added to a group that is not currently enrolled, the group will have to pay an application fee and enroll. Once the group is enrolled, the individual must then request to be added to the group. If the individual provider is already enrolled in South Carolina Medicaid, submit in writing an update request to have the provider affiliated with the group. The request must be on the business letterhead to include the Group’s Medicaid Legacy ID number and the provider’s NPI number with the provider’s or an authorized signature via Fax: (803) 870-9022 or Mail: Medicaid Provider Enrollment, PO Box 8809 Columbia, SC 29202-8809. Updates will be processed within ten (10) days of receipt.   If the individual provider is currently in the process of enrolling, the provider can indicate on the online application group affiliation.

Where do I list the individuals affiliated with our group on the enrollment application?

During the online enrollment process, organizations cannot affiliate individuals to their group. It is the responsibility of the individual provider to affiliate with a group. The request must be on the business letterhead to include the Group’s Medicaid Legacy ID number and the provider’s NPI number with the provider’s or an authorized signature via Fax: (803) 870-9022 or Mail: Medicaid Provider Enrollment, PO Box 8809 Columbia, SC 29202-8809. Updates will be processed within ten (10) days of receipt.

Why is the group enrollment effective date before the date our individual provider joined the group?

When an Individual provider is affiliated with a group, the original group enrollment date remains the same regardless of when the individual provider was affiliated. The individual provider does not receive a new enrollment date when affiliated with the group.
