  15. Eligibility verification

  16. Verification of eligibility Providers are responsible to verify eligibility prior to providing services in order to ensure reimbursement of services. Providers are responsible to verify that a person is enrolled in a benefit package that covers the services rendered. Providers assume full financial responsibility in serving a person whose eligibility was not confirmed on the date(s) of service.

  17. Resources Two options are available to verify medical eligibility: • Automated Voice Response (AVR): Provides free, phone-based eligibility verification. • MMIS Provider Web portal: Provides free, real-time eligibility verification over the Web.

  43. Claims processing

  44. MMIS • The federal government requires DHS to process Medicaid claims through the automated claim processing system which is MMIS. • This system is a combination of people and computers working together to process claims. • This system performs daily edits for presence and validity of data. • DHS staff only reviews claims that MMIS cannot make a payment decision based on the information submitted on the claim and other system related data (i.e.; eligibility).

  45. Claims submission • No matter how the claim was submitted (paper, electronically, or through the Web portal), providers will have the capability of viewing the claim. • If billing through the Web portal, the claim will process real-time so you will know the status of the claim as soon as you submit it. • If billing EDI, it is near to real time, in that within 20 minutes or so of MMIS receiving the claims transaction, the status of the claim is available. • Providers can: • View submitted claims for status and accuracy. • Submit new claims. • Correct and resubmit denied claims. • Adjust, void or copy paid claims.

  46. Claim processing times • 80% of the department’s claim volume is electronic. • Electronic claims process in real-time and usually adjudicate the week in which they are submitted. • Paper claims may take up to three weeks for processing. • DMAP pays providers on a weekly Friday cycle. • Electronic fund transfers are processed on Wednesdays in the week following the Friday claims cycle. • Less than two percent of claims suspend. Once they suspend, DMAP works them within 14 days.

  47. Claims Processing • Paper claims submitted by mail go to the DHS Office of Document Management (ODM) Imaging Unit. • ODM processes hardcopy claims using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) scanning. • Make sure your claim form meets OCR specifications. • Effective August 1, 2009, only red forms will be acceptable. • A Remittance Advice (RA) listing all claims adjudicated is mailed to the provider (with payment if appropriate).

  48. Prior to submitting a paper claim • Verify eligibility to assure the client is eligible on the date of service for the services provided. • Bill third-party resources first. • Check the provider number to verify the claim will be submitted for the correct provider.

  49. A few tips! • When submitting handwritten claim forms, you must use blue or black ink, never use red ink. • Make sure your hand writing is legible and clearly indicates zero’s (0) versus O’s, five’s (5) versus S’s, and eight’s (8) versus B’s. • If possible, submit no more than twenty-two lines of services per claim form. • Do not use liquid whiteout. • Check your printer alignment.
