All current billing files have been converted to the new HIPAA 5010 layout. You may experience some 5010-related denials, such as PO Box in the billing provider address or failure to use 9-digit zip codes. Medicare billing errors for injectable flu shots (90658) can be avoided by using the new "Q" codes. Make sure to consult the updated Medicare Preventive Services Guide for correct coding and billing procedures. Managed care billing reports now have a new numbering scheme based on the MCO being billed. For Presumptive Eligibility, contact DMS at 1-855-446-1245 on the day of approval. For immediate services, PE members can call the Medicaid Member Service line at 1-800-635-2570.
