Habilitation Services – Billing and Claims Process Presented by Dennis Petersen, COO – February 18, 2014
Magellan Transition • Only services rendered 7/1/13 or AFTER, should be billed to Magellan. • For all services rendered PRIOR to 7/1/13, claims should be submitted directly to Iowa Medicaid Enterprise (IME). • Existing service plans for HAB services active as of July 1, 2013, were transferred to Magellan. • Why the change in billing procedures? Magellan has processes in place to ensure HIPAA and CMS compliance. The codes/processes previously used were not in compliance in order for us to process a claim.
Provider Billing Codes *For all Iowa Medicaid Habilitation services, the UC modifier must be included on claims. Claims for this service submitted without this modifier will be denied. *For those members with an ETP/Ad Hoc rate, you must bill with a KX modifier in the first position, and the UC modifier in the second position in order for the claim to process at the correct rate. (i.e. T2021 KX UC) Note: This is a list of all HAB services. Please check your contract for the services your site can provide.

Submit “Clean” Claims – Top Claim Denial Reasons • Member Not Found – Be sure you are using the correct spelling of the member’s name and DOB that appears in eligibility. If this information does not match, it will cause the claim to reject and it will not be accepted for adjudication. If the information in eligibility is incorrect, contact IME to make a correction. • No Authorization – Be sure you have an active authorization on file and units available to use. • Not Eligible – Verify member eligibility each month of service. You can do this on our website at www.magellanprovider.com or via ELVS at 800-338-7752. Even if services are authorized, the member must still have active eligibility.
Top Claim Denial Reasons, cont. • Invalid/Non-Covered Dx Codes – Be sure the primary Dx you are billing is a covered Dx with Magellan. Be sure ALL the Dx codes you are billing are valid. • Invalid CPT/HCPCS Codes – Confirm the code you are billing is the same code that was authorized for service. Refer to your authorization letter which can be accessed at www.magellanprovider.com. • Invalid or Missing Modifier or Place of Service Code (POS)
Top Claim Denial Reasons, cont. • Missing Name and Degree of Provider – CMS 1500 only • Site not contracted/credentialed – be sure the claim’s “rendering” site is contracted for the services you are billing for. Not all sites may be contracted for the same services. Be sure you are using the correct TIN/NPI number combination for that site. • Duplicate Claim Submission – if you are submitting a CORRECTED CLAIM, be sure you indicate as such on the claim so that it doesn’t deny as a duplicate. When submitting a CORRECTED CLAIM, fill out the claim the way it should have been submitted.
Submit Within Timely Filing Guidelines • In accordance with State requirements, Magellan requires Medicaid claims to be resolved by the 365th calendar day from the date of service.
