3 Reimbursement and Claims Filing.1 Reimbursement CSHCN Services Program reimbursements are available to all providers either by check or electronic funds transfer (EFT). Through EFT, TMHP deposits reimbursements directly into a provider s bank account. The CSHCN Services Program reimburses hospitals, physicians, and other suppliers of service. Each section of this manual gives more detail concerning the methods used to reimburse each provider specialty for claims processed by TMHP. The following information is provided as an overview of the CSHCN Services Program reimbursement methodology..1.1 Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) EFT is a method for directly depositing funds into a designated bank account. When providers enroll, TMHP deposits funds from their approved claims directly into their designated bank account. Transactions transmitted through EFT contain descriptive information to help providers reconcile their bank accounts Advantages of EFT The advantages of EFT are: Stop payments are no longer necessary because no paper is involved in the transaction process. Payment theft is less likely to occur because the process is handled electronically rather than by paper. Deposited funds are available for withdrawal within a few days after completion of the TMHP financial cycle. Upon deposit, the bank considers the transaction immediately collected. No float is attached to EFT deposits for CSHCN Services Program funds. TMHP includes provider and Remittance and Status (R&S) report numbers with each transaction submitted. If the bank s processing software captures and displays the information, both numbers would appear on the banking statement Enrollment Procedures Providers are strongly encouraged to participate in EFT. EFT does not require special software, and providers can enroll immediately. To enroll in EFT, complete the Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Information and Authorization Agreement, located in Appendix B on page B-4. Complete the EFT form, include a deposit slip or canceled check, and mail or fax the items to: Texas Medicaid & Healthcare Partnership Attn: Provider Enrollment PO Box Austin, TX Fax: One form must be filled out for each billing provider identifier, including a signature of the provider. TMHP issues a prenotification transaction during the next cycle directly to the provider s bank account. This transaction serves as a checkpoint to verify EFT is working correctly. If the bank returns the prenotification without errors, the provider begins to receive EFT transactions with the third cycle following the enrollment form processing. The provider continues to receive paper checks until they begin to receive EFT transactions. If the provider changes bank accounts, the provider must submit a new EFT Agreement to the TMHP Provider Enrollment department. The prenotification process is repeated and, once completed, the EFT transaction is deposited to the new bank account. CPT only copyright 2007 American Medical Association. All rights reserved. 3

4 Chapter.1.2 Texas Medicaid Reimbursement Methodology (TMRM) The CSHCN Services Program reimburses physicians based on the TMRM. This methodology is used to reimburse the following services and tests: Physician services. Services incidental to physician s services. Diagnostic tests (other than clinical laboratory). Radiology services. TMRM is based on Medicare s resource-based relative value scale (RBRVS) with Medicaid modifications. Some of the differences include: Access-based fee adjustments for specific services. A flat fee structure applicable on a statewide basis (there are no geographic or specialty differences in this system). Providers may determine the CSHCN Services Program payment for a service in one of the following ways: Identify the total relative value units (RVUs) (as published in the November 1991 Federal Register) and multiply this number by the TMRM conversion factor ($27.276). For anesthesia conversion factors, refer to Section , Reimbursement, on page Contact the TMHP-CSHCN Services Program Contact Center at , which is available Monday through Friday, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m, Central Time. Callers must provide the provider identifier, date of service, type of service (TOS), and the procedure code..1.3 Manual Pricing When services are billed that do not have an established TMRM fee or a maximum fee schedule, TMHP-CSHCN Services Program medical staff determines the reimbursement amount by comparing the services to other services requiring a similar amount of skill and resources..1.4 Maximum Allowable Fee Schedule Physicians/supplier services that are not reimbursed according to TMRM or reasonable charge may be reimbursed according to a maximum fee schedule. Maximum fee schedules are determined by state and/or federal regulations..1. Physician Services in Hospital Outpatient Setting Section 104 of the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 (TEFRA) requires the CSHCN Services Program and Medicaid to limit reimbursement of physician services furnished in a hospital outpatient setting that are also ordinarily furnished in a physician s office. The limit for each service is determined by establishing a charge base for each professional service and multiplying the charge base by The charge base for a service is the TMRM fee for similar routine services furnished by family physicians in the office. This provision applies to those procedures performed in the outpatient department of the hospital, such as clinics and emergency situations. When the eligible client is seen in the outpatient department of the hospital in an emergency situation, the condition that created the emergency must be documented on the claim form. The following services are excluded from this limitation: Surgical services that are covered by ambulatory surgical center (ASC) services. Anesthesiology and radiology services. Emergency services provided in a hospital emergency room after the sudden onset of a medical condition manifesting itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain), such that the absence of immediate medical attention may be reasonably expected to result in one of the following outcomes: Serious jeopardy to the client s health. 4 CPT only copyright 2007 American Medical Association.

5 Reimbursement and Claims Filing Serious impairment to bodily functions. Serious dysfunction of any body organ or part..2 TMHP Claims Information.2.1 Claims Processed by TMHP COMPASS21 (C21) is the claims and encounters processing system currently used by TMHP to process CSHCN Services Program claims. COMPASS21 is an advanced Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS) that incorporates the latest claims processing methods and offers access to data and flexibility for future program changes. There are two ways to submit claims to COMPASS21. The first is electronic claims submission. TMHP also accepts paper claims. Providers are encouraged to switch to electronic submission. A listing of the providers and services that are paid by TMHP can be found in Chapter 2, Client Benefits and Eligibility of this manual. All claims sent by mail to TMHP for the first time must be addressed to: Texas Medicaid & Healthcare Partnership Attn: CSHCN Services Program Claims PO Box 2008 Austin, TX Claim corrections, appeals, and other correspondence sent by mail must be directed to a specific department or individual at the following address: Texas Medicaid & Healthcare Partnership Attn: CSHCN Services Program Appeals, MC-A B Riata Trace Parkway, Suite 10 Austin, TX Clients may call TMHP at , which is available Monday through Friday, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Central Time, to obtain information about how to submit drug copay, transportation of remains, and Insurance Premium Payment Assistance (IPPA) reimbursement for premiums. Clients may also call the TMHP-IPPA toll-free client help line at , which is available Monday through Friday, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Central Time, for information about IPPA..2.2 Claims Processed by the Department of State Health Services (DSHS)- CSHCN Services Program Family Support Services (FSS) can help families care for clients with special health-care needs. FSS can also help a client be more independent and able to take part in family life and community activities. FSS includes, but is not limited to: Respite care to allow caretakers a short break from caring for their child. Specialized childcare costs above and beyond the cost for typical childcare and related to the child's disability or medical condition. Vehicle modifications, such as wheelchair lifts and related modifications such as wheelchair tiedowns, a raised roof, and hand controls. Home modifications, such as ramps, roll-in showers, or wider doorways. Special equipment that is not listed as a possible benefit in the child's health insurance plan, such as porch lifts or stair lifts, positioning equipment, or bath aids. There are limits on the FSS that the program can provide. Limited prior authorization of FSS may be considered while a client is on the CSHCN Services Program waiting list only when those services will prevent out-of-home placement of an eligible client and/or when a provision of the FSS is cost effective for the program. If the program offers limited services to clients on the waiting list, FSS may be a benefit. However, currently, only ongoing eligible CSHCN Services Program clients may receive FSS. In most cases, the total costs for FSS cannot be more than $3,600 per calendar year for each client. Exceptions may be made for vehicle modifications.

6 Chapter CSHCN Services Program case managers assist clients and their families with obtaining FSS. A list of DSHS Regional Health Service offices and contact information is provided in Chapter 1, TMHP and DSHS Contact Information..2.3 TMHP Processing Procedures The provider who performed the service must file an assigned claim and agree to accept the allowable charge as full payment. Regulations prohibit providers from charging clients or TMHP a fee for completing or filing claim forms. The cost of claims filing is considered a part of the usual and customary charges for services provided to all CSHCN Services Program clients. Claims filed with TMHP for reimbursement by the CSHCN Services Program are subject to the following procedures: TMHP verifies that all required information is present on the claim form. The claim is processed using clerical and/or automated procedures. Claims requiring special consideration are reviewed by medical professionals. All claims from the same provider that are ready for disposition at the end of each week are paid by a single check sent to the provider with an explanation of each payment or denial. This explanation is called the R&S report. If no payment is made to the provider, an R&S report identifying denied or pending claims is sent to the provider. If there is no claim action during that time period, the provider does not receive an R&S report that week..2.4 Claims Filing Deadlines and Exceptions For claims payment to be considered, providers must adhere to the following time limits. Claims received after the following time limits are not payable because the CSHCN Services Program does not provide coverage for late claims: When a filing deadline falls on a weekend or holiday, the filing deadline is extended to the next business day following the weekend or holiday. Holidays that may extend the deadlines in 2008 are: January 1, 2008, New Year s Day. January 21, 2008, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. February 18, 2008, Presidents Day. May 26, 2008, Memorial Day. July 4, 2008, Independence Day. September 1, 2008, Labor Day. October 13, 2008, Columbus Day.* November 11, 2008, Veterans Day. November 27 and 28, 2008, Thanksgiving Holidays. December 24, 2, and 26, 2008, Christmas Holidays. *Columbus Day is a federal holiday, but not a state holiday. The claims filing deadline will be extended for providers because the Post Office will not be operating on this day. Inpatient claims filed by a hospital must be submitted to TMHP within 9 days from the discharge date. Hospitals may submit interim claims before discharge. These claims must be submitted to TMHP within 9 days from the last date of service on the claim. Outpatient hospital services must be submitted to TMHP within 9 days from the date of service. All other claims must be submitted to TMHP within 9 days from each date of service. When a service is a benefit of Medicare, Medicaid, and the CSHCN Services Program, and the client is covered by all programs, the claim must be filed with Medicare first, then with Medicaid. If a Medicaid claim is denied or recouped for client ineligibility, the claim may be submitted to the CSHCN Services Program within 9 days from the date of Medicaid disposition. 6 CPT only copyright 2007 American Medical Association. All rights reserved.

7 Reimbursement and Claims Filing A copy of the disposition must be submitted with the claim and mailed to TMHP. When a service is billed to another insurance resource, the filing deadline is 9 days from the date of disposition by the other resource. When a service is billed to a third-party resource (TPR) that has not responded, the filing deadline is 36 days from the date of service..2. Exception to Claim Filing Deadline The DSHS manager with responsibility for oversight of the CSHCN Services Program, or his or her designee, considers a provider s request for an exception to the 9-day claims filing deadline and the 120-day correction and resubmission deadline, if the delay is due to one of the following reasons: Damage to or destruction of the provider s business office or records by a catastrophic event or natural disaster; including, but not limited to fire, flood, or earthquake that substantially interferes with normal business operations of the provider. The request for an exception to the filing deadline must include: An affidavit or statement from a person with personal knowledge of the facts detailing the requested exception. The cause for the delay. Verification that the delay was not caused by neglect, indifference, or lack of diligence of the provider or the provider s current employee or agent. Any additional information requested by the CSHCN Services Program, including independent evidence of insurable loss; medical, accident or death records and a police or fire department report substantiating the damage or destruction. Damage or destruction of the provider s business office or records caused by intentional acts of an employee or agent of the provider, only if the employment or agency relationship was terminated and the provider filed criminal charges against the former employee or agent. The request for an exception to the filing deadline must include: An affidavit or statement from a person with personal knowledge of the facts detailing the requested exception. The cause for the delay. Verification that the delay was not caused by neglect, indifference, or lack of diligence of the provider or the provider s employee or agent. Any additional information requested by the program, including a police or fire report substantiating the damage or destruction caused by the former employee or agent s criminal activity. Delay, error, or constraint imposed by the program in the eligibility determination of a client and/or in claims processing, or delay due to erroneous written information from the program, its designee, or another state agency. The request for an exception to the filing deadline must include: An affidavit or statement from a person with personal knowledge of the facts detailing the requested exception. The cause for the delay. Verification that the delay was not caused by neglect, indifference, or lack of diligence of the provider or the provider s employee or agent. Any additional information requested by the program, including written documentation from the program, its designee, or another state agency containing the erroneous information or explanation of the delay, error, and/or constraint. Delay due to problems with the provider s electronic claims system or other documented and verifiable problems with claims submission. The request for an exception to the filing deadline must include: An affidavit or statement from a person with personal knowledge of the facts detailing the requested exception. The cause for the delay. Verification that the delay was not caused by neglect, indifference, or lack of diligence of the provider or the provider s employee or agent.

8 Chapter Any additional information requested by the CSHCN Services Program, including a written repair statement or invoice; a computer or modem-generated error report indicating attempts to transmit the data failed for reasons outside the control of the provider, or an explanation for the system implementation or other claim submission programs; a detailed, written statement by the person making the repairs or installing the system concerning the relationship and impact of the computer problem or system implementation to delayed claims submission; and the reason alternative billing procedures were not initiated after the problems became known. The DSHS manager of the unit with responsibility for oversight of the CSHCN Services Program, or his or her designee(s), considers a provider s request for an exception to claims receipt deadlines due to delays caused by entities other than the provider and the program only if the following criteria are met: All claims that are to be considered for the same exception accompany the request (only the claims that are attached are considered). The exception request is received by the program within 18 months from the date of service. The exception request includes an affidavit or statement from a representative of an original payer, a third-party payer, and/or a person who has personal knowledge of the facts, stating the requested exception, documenting the cause for the delay, and providing verification that the delay was caused by another entity and not the neglect, indifference, or lack of diligence of the provider or the provider s employees or agents. Send requests for exceptions to claim filing deadlines to: CSHCN Services Program Purchased Health Services Unit, MC-1938 Texas Department of State Health Services PO Box Austin, TX Fax: Note: Correspondence greater than ten pages must be mailed..3 Third-Party Resource (TPR) Federal and state laws require that the CSHCN Services Program use program funds for the payment of most medical services only after all reasonable measures were taken to use a client s TPR. A TPR is a source of payment (other than payment from the CSHCN Services Program) for medical services. TPR includes payment from any of the following sources: Private health insurance. Dental insurance plan. Health maintenance organization (HMO). Home, automobile, or other liability insurance. Preferred provider organization (PPO). Cause of action (lawsuit). Medicare. Health-care plans of the U.S. Department of Defense or the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (also known as TRICARE). Employee welfare plan. Union health plan. Children s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). Prescription drug card. Vision insurance plan. Even though the Texas Medicaid Program is considered a nontpr source, when the client is eligible for both the CSHCN Services Program and Texas Medicaid Program, Medicaid must be billed before billing the CSHCN Services Program. If the Texas Medicaid Program denies or recoups a claim for client ineligibility, a copy of the Medicaid R&S report must be submitted with the claim and received at TMHP within 9 days from the date of disposition. 8 CPT only copyright 2007 American Medical Association. All rights reserved.

9 Reimbursement and Claims Filing A provider who furnishes services and is participating in the CSHCN Services Program must not refuse to furnish services to an eligible client because of a third party s potential liability for payment of the services. Eligible clients must not be held responsible for billed charges in excess of the TPR payment for services that are a benefit of the CSHCN Services Program. When the TPR pays less than the program allowable amount for services that are a benefit, the provider may submit a claim to TMHP for any additional allowable amount. The program does not reimburse providers for copays or provider discounts deducted from TPR payments. When the client has other third-party coverage, the CSHCN Services Program may pay the deductible/coinsurance for the client as long as the combination of insurance and program payment does not exceed CSHCN Services Program s fee schedule in use at the time of service. Exception: By law, the CSHCN Services Program cannot reimburse for CHIP deductibles or coinsurance..3.1 Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) The CSHCN Services Program does not reimburse providers for client copays. The CSHCN Services Program considers payment for services specifically excluded or limited by HMOs, but a benefit of the CSHCN Services Program. An explanation of benefits (EOB) is required from the HMO. Payment of those services must not exceed the CSHCN Services Program s maximum allowable fees for those services. The CSHCN Services Program does not provide assistance for: Supplement of payment made by HMOs to their providers, unlike other insurance. Services that are available through an HMO and were not provided by an HMO approved provider. Authorization and payment for services available through an HMO. Copayments to providers for services available through an HMO. Providers may collect copays for CSHCN Services Program clients with private insurance. The CSHCN Services Program reimburses clients for medication copays only. Clients should call the TMHP-CSHCN Services Program Contact Center Client Line at , which is available Monday through Friday, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Central Time for additional information..3.2 CSHCN Services Program Eligibility Form Insurance coverage is indicated by the word Insurance below the date of birth in the CSHCN Services Program Eligibility form s case number block. Refer to Section 2.3.1, CSHCN Services Program Eligibility Form Sample, on page 2-10 for a sample copy of the form. The information is obtained at the time of the application and must be verified at the time services are rendered..3.3 Claims Filing Involving a TPR When a CSHCN Services Program client has other health insurance, that resource must be billed before billing the program. All claims for clients with other insurance coverage must reference the following information whether or not a copy of the EOB from the insurance company is attached: Name of the other insurance resource. Address of the other insurance resource. Policy (identification) number and group number. Policyholder. Effective date, if available. Date of disposition by other insurance resource. Payment or specific denial information. Refer to: Claims Information section at the end of each chapter of this manual for more information. CPT only copyright 2007 American Medical Association. All rights reserved. 9

10 Chapter.3.4 Verbal Denials by a TPR When a claim is denied by TMHP because of the client s other coverage, information identifying the TPR appears on the provider s R&S report. The claim must not be refiled with TMHP until a disposition from the TPR is received or until 110 days have elapsed since the billing of the claim to the TPR with no disposition received. A statement from the client or family member indicating that they no longer have this resource is not sufficient documentation to reprocess the claim. Providers may call an other insurance resource and receive a verbal denial. In these situations, the provider must indicate the following information on the R&S report: Date of the telephone call. Name and telephone number of the insurance company. Name of the person with whom they spoke. Policyholder and group information. Specific reason for the denial (include client s type of coverage to enhance the accuracy of claims processing; for example, a policy that covers only inpatient services or only physician services). If a TPR has not responded or delays payment/denial of a provider s claim for more than 110 days after the date the claim was billed, the CSHCN Services Program considers the claim for payment. The following information is required: The name and address of the TPR. The date the TPR was billed (used to calculate the filing deadline). A statement signed and dated by the provider that no disposition was received from the TPR within 110 days from the date the claim was filed. When a provider is advised by a TPR that benefits were paid to the client, the provider must include that information on the claim with the date and amount of payment made to the client, if available. If a denial was sent to the client, refer to the information listed in this section. This information enables TMHP to consider the claim for payment..3. Filing Deadlines Involving a TPR Any health insurance, including CHIP or Medicaid, that provides coverage to a CSHCN Services Program eligible client must be utilized before the program can consider the services for reimbursement. Claims must be received by the program or the payment contractor within 9 days of the date of the disposition by the other TPR. If the claim is denied, the provider may submit a claim for consideration to the program. The letter of denial must accompany the claim, or the provider must include the following information with the claim for consideration: Date the claim was filed with the insurance company. Reason for the denial. Name and telephone number of the insurance company. Policy (identification) number. Name of the policy holder and identification numbers for each policy covering the client. Name of the insurance company contact who provided the denial information. Date of the contact with the insurance company. Claims involving a TPR have the following deadlines applied: Claims with a valid disposition must be submitted to TMHP within 9 days from the disposition (payment or denial) date. As a courtesy to the provider, if more than 110 days elapsed from the date a claim was filed to the TPR and no response was received, the claim may be submitted to TMHP for consideration of payment. The following information is required: The name and address of the TPR. The date the TPR was billed (used to calculate the filing deadline). A statement signed and dated by the provider that no disposition was received from the TPR within 110 days from the date the claim was filed. 10 CPT only copyright 2007 American Medical Association. All rights reserved.

11 Reimbursement and Claims Filing In addition to the above, there is a 36-day filing deadline from the date of service. This means that a fully documented claim must be received by TMHP within 36 days of the date of service. However, when a TPR recoups a payment made in error on a claim, and that claim was never submitted to TMHP, the provider must send the claim for special handling to the attention of the Third-Party Resources Unit at TMHP within 9 days of the TPR action, if the 36-day filing period was exceeded. Texas Medicaid & Healthcare Partnership Third-Party Resources Unit PO Box Austin, TX Claims denied by the TPR on the basis of late filing are not considered for payment by the CSHCN Services Program. TMHP does not have the authority to waive state or federal mandates, such as filing deadlines. Note: Providers may request an administrative review of any claim denied by the CSHCN Services Program payment contractor. Refer to Section 7.3, Administrative Review, on page 7-4, for more information..3.6 Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) Nonparticipating Physicians BCBS currently has procedures in place to pay assigned claims directly to nonparticipating providers. A nonparticipating provider is eligible to receive direct reimbursement from BCBS, when assignment is accepted. However, only payment dispositions are sent to the provider. An EOB regarding denials is sent only to the client. Be aware that by accepting assignment on a claim when the client also has the CSHCN Services Program coverage, providers are agreeing to accept payment made by insurance carriers and the CSHCN Services Program, when appropriate, as payment in full. The CSHCN Services Program client must not be held liable for any balance related to CSHCN Services Program-covered services. Physicians who treat CSHCN Services Program clients with BCBS private insurance and who are nonparticipating with BCBS must follow the instructions and procedures as follows: Do not provide the CSHCN Services Program client with a bill or anything the client could use as a bill. An informational statement may be given. To avoid confusion, write Information only clearly on the copy of the statement. Bill BCBS directly, accepting assignment. When payment from BCBS is received, the claim may be filed with TMHP to seek additional payment up to the CSHCN Services Program allowable amount. If no BCBS disposition is received within 110 days from the date the claim was billed to BCBS, file the claim to TMHP-CSHCN Services Program and furnish the following information: Indicate Nonparticipating BCBS. Provide the date BCBS was billed. Include a statement signed and dated by the provider that no disposition was received from the TPR within 110 days from the date the claim was billed. A claim must be filed with TMHP-CSHCN Services Program within 36 days of the date of service..3.7 Refunds to TMHP Resulting From Other Insurance If the CSHCN Services Program makes payment for a claim and payment is received from another resource for the same services, TMHP-CSHCN Services Program requires a refund. These refunds must not be held until the end of an accounting year. Providers must accept assignment; therefore, they must accept the CSHCN Services Program payment as payment in full for services that are a benefit and must not use payment by another TPR to make up the difference between the amount billed and the CSHCN Services Program s payment. The provider must refund TMHP the lesser of the amount paid by the TPR or the amount paid by the CSHCN Services Program. CPT only copyright 2007 American Medical Association. All rights reserved. 11

12 Chapter Providers must use the following guidelines to determine the amount to be refunded to TMHP: When the CSHCN Services Program pays more than the other resource pays, the amount of the other payment is due as a refund to TMHP. For example: Total billed $300 CSHCN Services Program payment $200 Other resource payment $10 Amount to be refunded to TMHP $10 When the CSHCN Services Program pays less than the other resource, the amount paid by the program is due as a refund. For example: Total billed $300 CSHCN Services Program payment $200 Other resource payment $20 Amount to be refunded to TMHP $ Accident-Related Claims TMHP monitors all accident claims to determine whether another resource may be liable for the medical expenses of the CSHCN Services Program clients. Providers are requested to ask clients whether the medical services are necessary because of accident-related injuries. If the claim is the result of an accident, providers must enter the appropriate code and date in Block 10 of the CMS-100 claim form, or Blocks 32ab 3ab on the UB-04 CMS-140 claim form. If payment is available from a known third party, such as personal injury protection automobile insurance, that responsible party must be billed before the CSHCN Services Program. If the third-party payment is substantially delayed due to contested liability or unresolved legal action, a claim may be submitted to TMHP for consideration of payment. TMHP processes the liability-related claim and pursues reimbursement directly from the potentially liable party on a post-payment basis. The following information must be included on these claims: Name and address of the TPR. Description of the accident including location, date, time, and alleged cause. Reason for delayed payment by the TPR Accident Resources and Refunds Involving Claims for Accidents Acting on behalf of the CSHCN Services Program, TMHP has the authority to recover payments from any settlement, court judgment, or other resources awarded to a CSHCN Services Program client. In most cases, TMHP works directly with the attorneys, courts, and insurance companies to seek reimbursement for program payments. If a provider receives a portion of a settlement for which the program has made payment, the provider must make a refund to TMHP. Any provider filing a lien for the entire billed amount must contact the Third-Party Resources Unit at TMHP to coordinate program postpayment activities. Providers may contact the TMHP Third-Party Resources Unit by calling , which is available Monday through Friday, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Central Time. A provider who receives an attorney s request for an itemized statement, claim copies, or both, should contact the TMHP Third-Party Resources Unit, if the CSHCN Services Program was billed for any services relating to the request. The provider must furnish TMHP with the client s name and CSHCN Services Program ID number, dates of service involved, and the name and address of the attorney or casualty insurance company. This information enables TMHP to pursue reimbursement from any settlement..4 Multipage Claim Forms The CMS-100 claim form is designed to list six line items in Block 24. An approved electronic claims format is designed to list 0 line items. If more than six line items are billed on a paper claim, a provider may attach additional forms (pages) totaling no more than 28 line items. The first page of a multipage claim must contain all the required billing information. On subsequent pages of the multipage claim, the provider should identify the client s name, diagnosis, information required for services in Block 24, 12 CPT only copyright 2007 American Medical Association. All rights reserved.

13 Reimbursement and Claims Filing and the page number of the attachment (for example, page 2 of 3) in the top right-hand corner of the form and indicate continued in Block 28. The combined total charges for all pages should be listed on the last page in Block 28. If the services provided exceed 28 line items on an approved electronic claims format or 28 line items on paper claims, the provider must submit another claim for the additional line items. The paper UB-04 CMS-140 claim form is designed to list 23 lines in Block 43. If services exceed the 23-line limitation, the provider may attach additional pages. The first page of a multipage claim must contain all required billing information. On subsequent pages, the provider identifies the client s name, diagnosis, all information required in Block 43, and the page number of the attachment (e.g., page 2 of 3) in the top right-hand corner of the form and indicate continued on Line 23 of Block 47. The combined total charges for all pages should be listed on the last page on Line 23 of Block 47. The total number of details allowed for a UB-04 CMS-140 claim form is 28. The TMHP claims processing system (C21) accepts a total of 61 details, and merges like revenue codes together to reduce the lines to 28 or less. If the C21 merge function is unable to reduce the lines to 28 or less, the claim will be denied, and the provider will need to reduce the number of details and resubmit the claim. Note: Each surgical procedure code listed in Block 74 of the claim form is counted as one detail and is included in the 28-detail limitation. An approved electronic format of the UB-04 CMS-140 is designed to list 61 lines in Block 43 or its electronic equivalent. C21 merges like revenue codes together to reduce the lines to 28 or less. If the C21 merge cannot reduce the lines to 28 or less, the claim denies, and the provider needs to reduce the lines and resubmit the claim. Providers submitting electronic claims may not submit more than 28 lines. If the services exceed the 28 lines, the provider may submit another claim for the additional lines or merge codes. When splitting a claim, all pages must contain the required information. Usually, there are logical breaks to a claim. For example, the provider may submit the surgery charges in one claim and the subsequent recovery days in the next claim. TEFRA hospitals are required to submit all charges.. Correction and Resubmission (Appeal) Time Limits All correction and resubmission (appeals) of denied claims and requests for adjustments on paid claims must be received by TMHP within 120 days from the date of disposition of the claim (the date of the R&S report on which the claim appears)...1 Claims with Incomplete Information Claims lacking the information necessary for processing are listed on the R&S report with an EOB code requesting the missing information. Providers must resubmit a signed, completed/corrected claim with a copy of the R&S report on which the claim appears to TMHP within 120 days from the date on the R&S report to be considered for payment. Hospitals are not required to resubmit itemized inpatient charges if those charges were included with the original submission...2 Other Insurance Appeals Providers appealing a claim denial due to other insurance coverage must submit to TMHP the complete other-insurance information, including all EOBs with disposition dates. The disposition date is the date on which the other insurance company processed the payment or denial. If a provider submits otherinsurance EOBs without disposition dates, the appeal will be denied.
