Glossary: Frequently Asked Questions

Will recertification dates be listed on Web Tool?

No, it would violate HIPPA.

If the beneficiary doesn’t have an ID number for the MCO, how do we obtain it?

Contact the MCO.

Can you resubmit the same claim via the Web Tool?

Yes, if you submit a new claim, you will get a new CCN.

What should I do if one line does not pay on your claim?

Correct and refile that one line.

Can I handwrite on the claim forms?

Yes you can, or you use a printing service.

How does Medicaid know what the provider is receiving from another carrier/third party payer?

There are spaces/sections on the claim form that identify what you receive from the other carrier.

Do we need to send an EOB?

An Explanation of Benefits from a third party payer should be kept on file in the provider’s office, especially if the payer didn’t submit payment.

Can you use the Web Tool for adjustments, if you filed through a clearinghouse?

Yes, you may submit an adjustment through the Web Tool, even if the original claim was filed using a clearinghouse – as long as it is within 15-18 months. However, UB-04 (Institutional) billers must file adjustments in the same medium as the original claim.

How can you find out MHN info for a beneficiary?

A provider can verify Medical Homes Network enrollment on the eligibility section of the Web Tool under the “Beneficiary Special Program Data” section.

How are MCO plans chosen for a beneficiary if they are auto-enrolled?
