9 BILLING TIPS Prior approval is required for these services. It is very important to complete the CMS-1500 (02-12) accurately and completely in order to ensure timely and accurate processing of your claims. CMS 1500 (02-12) is the correct type of claim form. Please do not use UB-04 or UB-92 forms. Electronic billing is preferred. Turnaround time for processing and issuance of payment is generally faster when claims are submitted via EDI (Electronic Data Interchange). Submit paper claims on red drop out forms and forms should be typed, not handwritten. Complete only required fields. Entry in fields that are not required may result in your claim being denied. Be sure that the billed services match those that were previously approved or authorized. If the billed service was not previously approved or authorized, the claim will be denied. Review your Agreement to verify the types of services for which you have contracted and the amount you should expect to be reimbursed per the contractual agreement. Be sure to bill the units as appropriate for each type of service. For example: S5120: Home Modifications. Billed in 15 minute increments. One (1) hour of service is equal to four (4) billed units. S5161: Emergency Response Service fee. One (1) month of service is equal to one (1) billed unit. S5131: Homemaker Service (i.e., bed bug cleaning and extermination). One (1) service is equal to one (1) billed unit. 5
