Revalidation
Revalidation Are all provider types required to revalidate? Federal regulations require all providers to revalidate their enrollment and fulfill screening requirements, where applicable DME and HME are revalidated every three years Are providers notified when it is time to revalidate? When it is time to revalidate, you will receive notice of the revalidation deadline Letters with instructions for revalidating are sent 90 and 60 days before the revalidation deadline We have multiple service locations can we revalidate them all at once? Providers should not take any steps to revalidate until they receive their notification letters 5
Revalidation Will anything happen if the revalidation is not completed? Providers that fail to submit revalidation paperwork in a timely manner may be deactivated from participation in the Indiana Health Coverage Programs (IHCP) as of the deadline date Deactivation may result in a nonparticipation period and denial of payment Will a note on letterhead be sufficient to revalidate the profile? For each revalidation, a complete enrollment packet and supporting documents must be completed; screening requirements must also be met Can a copy of the enrollment packet used for the initial enrollment be sent? The most current version of the enrollment application from indianamedicaid.com must be completed Outdated versions will be returned to the provider, resulting in a delay in revalidation 6

Guidelines
Date of Service for Billing The date of service is the date the equipment is delivered, not ordered Date of service for items that are mailed is the date the item is shipped For the IHCP to reimburse for medical equipment, the member must be eligible on the date of service, which is the date of delivery 36
Rolling 12-Month Period What it is not: Based on a 12-month calendar year Based on a fiscal year Renewable on January 1 of each year What it is: Based on the first date that services are rendered by a particular provider Renewable one unit at a time beginning 365 days after the date that services are rendered by a particular provider 37
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) The IHCP reimburses for CPAP systems for members meeting one of the following criteria: A diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) equal to or greater than 15 events per hour, documented in a recorded polysomnography A diagnosis of OSA with an AHI from five to 14 events per hour documented in a recorded polysomnography with documented symptoms of excessive daytime sleepiness, impaired cognition, mood disorders, insomnia or hypertension, ischemic heart disease, or history of stroke A diagnosis of moderate or severe OSA in a member for whom surgery is a likely alternative to CPAP Copies of the member s sleep lab evaluation, including a polysomnography, must be retained in the physician s record 38
Capped Rental Certain procedure codes are limited to 15 months of continuous rental The IHCP evaluates requests from providers for approval of capped rental items In long-term need situations, a decision may be made to classify the item as purchase instead of rental Continuous rental is defined as rental without interruption for a period of more than 60 days A change in provider does not cause an interruption in the rental period The provider must service the item at no cost to the IHCP during the rental period Once the equipment is considered purchased, any nonwarranty repairs are billable A complete list of procedure codes for capped rental can be found in the IHCP Provider Manual, Chapter 8, Section 4 39
Capped Rental The IHCP pays claims until the number of rental payments made reaches the capped rental number of 15 months When the 15-month rental period has been exhausted, the DME/home medical equipment (HME) is considered purchased and becomes the property of the Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) Providers should base their decisions to rent or purchase DME or HME on the least expensive option available for the anticipated period of need 40
Capped Rental Medicare capped rental policy for DME The policy states that the capped rental period is 13 months After 13 months, the member owns the DME Medicare will pay for reasonable and necessary maintenance and service of the DME item At this time, Medical Policy has not been directed to make changes to the IHCP s capped rental policy 41
Repair and Replacement Repair of purchased equipment may require prior authorization based on the HCPCS codes The IHCP does not pay for repair of equipment still under warranty The IHCP does not authorize payment for repair necessitated by member misuse or abuse, whether intentional or unintentional The rental provider is responsible for repairs to rental equipment 42
Repair and Replacement The IHCP does not cover payment for maintenance charges of properly functioning equipment The IHCP does not authorize replacement of medical equipment more than once every five years per member More frequent replacement is allowed only if there is a change in the member s medical needs that is documented in writing and significant enough to warrant a change in equipment; such requests require PA A long-term care (LTC) facility s per diem rate includes repair costs for equipment 43
