The only time I suggest doing this is for these injections that the health plans might reimburse for incentives, due to rendering those services. Or services that have to be billed for special credits to keep a provider status, providers would be familiar with those services if they were eligible. Topic #2Behavioral Health claim denied due to Provider type listed in “Attending” fieldMDHHS Provider Support Response:Providers must remember even for BH services, the attending provider must be MD/DO or NP and the provider such as therapist would then need to be reported in the rendering field. Topic #3:How to follow up on Meridian Claim StatusAnswer:Providers are able to collect statuses using our self-service phone system, and in-network providers are able to view statuses through our portal. If you feel a claim was processed incorrectly or have any additional questions, please call our Member Services department Monday – Sunday from 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. at 1-877-902-6784. Topic #4:For MI HEALTH LINK this is a UPHP dual eligible insurance-Medicare/Medicaid-Medicare does not cover annual preventative exams but Medicaid does but when we bill MI HEALTH LINK-there is no payment at all- We are getting ABN’s signed by the patients but my question to you is can we bill the patient even if they have MI Health link? I question because typically you cannot bill a Medicaid patient but we are giving an ABN? MDHHS Provider Support Response:ICOs may be reimbursed if the service is provided within the FQHC setting and the claim is submitted using the requirements listed in the Medicaid Provider ic #5:A handful of our patients have Medicare A only.? They do not have Medicare B, but they do have Medicaid as their secondary. Is there a way we can still bill Medicaid?? Do we not bill Medicare and put the patients on sliding fees?? Can we bill the patient?? It seems very tricky since they are both government programsMDHHS Provider Support Response:Added to Provider Support’s tracking issue document. Provider Support or MSA Policy will follow up once they gather more informationNext Billing Network CallAugust 21, 2018 at 1pm. To join, dial 1-866-453-5550, passcode: 7478807#.
