Benefit Limits Written Correspondence 14 Vision service providers may not have the most current information available about services previously rendered to a member and paid by the IHCP. This situation can result in reduced reimbursement or no reimbursement for rendered services. Providers may submit secure correspondence through the Portal or write to the Written Correspondence Unit to inquire whether particular members have exceeded their service limitations. Providers should allow up to four business days for a response.
15 Coverage
Coverage 16 The IHCP provides reimbursement for routine vision services, subject to the following restrictions: One routine vision care examination and refraction is covered for members 20 years old and younger, per rolling 12-month period One routine vision care examination and refraction is covered for members 21 years old and older, per rolling 24-month period If medical necessity dictates more frequent examinations, documentation of such medical necessity must be maintained in the provider s office, and prior authorization must be obtained
Routine Vision Versus Medical Examinations When a patient is seen for a medical and routine vision service on the same date, the primary reason for the encounter should be used to determine whether the service falls under the routine or medical benefit 17 If the primary reason for the visit was swelling or mass of the eye, but a routine vision exam and refraction were performed, the exam should be coded with the swelling and mass of the eye (medical) diagnosis, and the refraction should be coded with the routine diagnosis
Coverage: Lenses The prescription of lenses, when required, is included in the procedure code 92015 Determination of refractive state It includes specification of lens type, monofocal, bifocal, lens power, axis, prism, absorptive factor, impact resistance, and other factors The IHCP does not provide coverage for all lenses If a member chooses to upgrade to progressive lenses, transitional lenses, antireflective coating, or tint numbers other than 1 or 2, the basic lens V code can be billed to the IHCP The upgrade portion can be billed to the member only if the member was given an appropriate advance notification (signed waiver) of the noncovered service, and if a separate procedure code for the service exists 18
Coverage: Frames Reimbursement is available for frames, including but not limited to plastic or metal Providers should bill for frames using V2020 Frames, purchase Providers who receive payment from the IHCP for frames may not bill the member for any additional cost that is more than the IHCP reimbursement 19
Coverage Frames Maximum reimbursement for frames is $20, unless medical necessity requires more expensive frame Medical necessity examples: Special frames to accommodate a facial deformity or anomaly Frames with special modifications, such as a ptosis crutch Allergy to standard frame materials Frames for an infant or child where special-size frames that are unavailable for $20 or less must be prescribed All claims for more expensive frames must be accompanied by documentation supporting medical necessity. Providers must submit a manufacturer s suggested retail price (MSRP) or cost invoice and charges for medically necessary deluxe frames with procedure code V2025. The IHCP reimburses medically necessary deluxe frames at 75% of the MSRP or 120% of the cost invoice. 20
Coverage: Replacement Eyeglasses Members younger than 21 years of age may be eligible for a replacement pair of eyeglasses one year from the date their previous eyeglasses were provided Members 21 years old and older may be eligible for a replacement pair of eyeglasses five years from the date their previous eyeglasses were provided If a member needs replacement eyeglasses due to loss, theft, or damage beyond repair, prior to the established limitations, use the U8 modifier to bill for the replacement lenses or frames 21
Coverage: Replacement Eyeglasses Replacement frames and lenses are covered only when medical necessity guidelines are met or when necessary due to loss, theft, or damage beyond repair If a member needs replacement eyeglasses due to a change in the prescription, and it is prior to the established limitations, the modifier SC Medically necessary service or supply, must be used to bill for this service. The minimum prescription or change meets the following criteria: A change of 0.75 diopters for members six to 42 years old A change of 0.50 diopters prescription or change for members more than 42 years old An axis change of at least 15 degrees 22
23 Updates
Rendering Linkage (EOB 1010) The IHCP has temporarily converted EOB 1010, ARC B7, and Remark N570 to postand-pay status, meaning that the system will allow claims and claim details with the issue to pay. However, the EOB 1010, ARC B7, and Remark N570 messages will continue to post on the RAs. The post-and-pay status will be in place through December 31, 2017, allowing providers ample time to link rendering providers to the appropriate group locations to support proper claims adjudication. Effective January 1, 2018, the EOB 1010, ARC B7, and Remark N570 will revert to a denial status. 24
Red-and-white claim form requirement Effective January 1, 2018 the IHCP will require the below claim types to be submitting for processing on the appropriate red and white forms. CMS-1500 (02-12) professional claims UB-04 (CMS-1450) institutional claims The IHCP will no longer accept copied (black and white) claim forms on or after January 1, 2018. Claims not received on the red-and-white claim form on or after January 1, 2018, will be returned to the provider. Note: This requirement does not effect the ADA Form 1260 as that form is only available only in black and white. 25
