Does the Nursing Facility (NF), Intermediate Care Facility (ICF) / Mental Retardation (MR) or Swing Bed facility have to wait for a denial from DHHS before submitting an invoice to the hospice agency?

Yes. The denial must be attached.


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.


How do I update the individual provider’s name?

SCDHHS requires the individual provider to send in a completed/signed W9 form with the individual’s name, SSN, address and signature. Providers are also required to complete the Disclosure of Ownership and Control Interest Statement Form.


Why can’t we update our enrollment profile over the phone?

SCDHHS requires updates to a provider’s file to be submitted in writing on business letterhead with the provider’s or an authorized signature. Submit any updated changes 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.


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 did my enrollment application get rejected after I made the corrections I was told to?

A provider is notified about rejections via the Enrollment Rejection Letter. The rejection letter indicates the reason(s) for the rejection. For further assistance, contact the Provider Service Center at 1 (888) 289-0709, option 4.


How can we get an enrollment status update?

Contact the Provider Service Center (PSC) (888) 289-0709, option 4 for Provider Enrollment.  Please have your Reference ID number available.


How do I file a replacement claim for a paid claim that is partly incorrect?

Go to the Web Tool submission page. Log in; go to claims entry/history; click on the correct batch number; click on the correct claim number; copy; click the claim type on the left; click on batch, claim; edit; scroll down to claim submission reason code; select replacement. To complete this task, you must have the original Claim Control Number (CCN).
