If I have a difficult payer, do I need to complete a reasonable effort document?

Yes you can. It is to show efforts made to obtain other payments from other insurers.

If a plan doesn’t cover family planning, do we bill to Medicaid and send the EOB?

Certain services are “carved out”, not covered, by the MCOs and MHNs. Those services can be billed directly to SC Medicaid. You do not need to bill to the managed care plan for a denial.

What happens when Medicaid recoups for retro-health recovery and it is outside of the timely filing window?

Professional billers do not receive retro health letters. Medicaid contacts or solicits billing payments from the private health plan.

If my third party has several addresses, which one do I choose?

You would contact the company to find out which address is for your service area.

How long do you have to request a hearing for an appeal?

You have 30 days to request a hearing.

Can MIVS track down where other payer’s money goes if you are not paid?

No, but they can contact other payers to obtain payment information.

What do you do if monies are sent to the patient?

Change them to self pay after or before service completion.

If a Health Insurance Information Referral Form (HIIRF) is completed with no documentation, will the beneficiary's TPL record be updated?

No, MIVS will further investigate and draft a letterhead showing steps taken.

If I send a HIIRF, will I see anything saying it was received?

No, just wait a few days and check eligibility again.

Does the Medicaid card have all the information needed?

No, you should further investigate eligibility using eligibility resources and the information provided on the card.
