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 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.

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.

Do we send an EOB with claims?

You do not send an EOB with claims, unless it is requested.

Where are the specifics for pay and chase?

The specifics for pay and chase are found in Section 2 (polices) and section 3 (billing) of your provider manual.

Can you resubmit a denied claim once correct on Web Tool?

Yes. Copy the claim, correct it, and submit it.


If you know a service isn’t covered, do you still file to the other carrier?

Yes, you still file to the other carrier to obtain a valid denial. Three denials should be kept on file each year.


Is the EFT form used for MCOs as well?

No, they have their own forms and billing systems.


If you are missing information, will the Web Tool process the claim anyway?

Yes and no; there are basic required fields that are denoted by asterisks, however if you forget modifiers, the Web Tool won’t recognize that.


Under the Web Tool's status option, can I check the status of a claim I submit hard copy?

Yes, it doesn’t matter the submission method.
