3 Claims Submission Requirements Beginning on September 1, 2013

4 Claims Submission Procedures All claims relating to mental health and/or substance use disorder services provided on behalf of Managed Care members are processed and paid by Magellan beginning on September 1, We strongly encourage all providers to submit claims to Magellan electronically via Claims Courier on our provider website, EDI Direct Submit, or a Clearinghouse. For more information, visit the Getting Paid/Electronic Transactions section on the Magellan provider website at Submit all claims (paper and electronic) to: Magellan Behavioral Health P.O. Box 2008 Maryland Heights, MO

5 Claim Tips Claims with CPT or HCPCS procedure codes should be submitted electronically on a 837P (Professional) file or paper claim form CMS-1500 Claims with Revenue codes should be submitted electronically on a 837I (Institutional) file or paper claim form UB-04 Hints for claim completion: Give complete information on the member (name, address, DOB) Give complete provider information (TIN, Individual provider name and degree, rendering provider name and address, billing pay to provider name and address, National Provider Identifier [NPI] number for both the rendering and billing provider) Attach primary carrier s Explanation of Benefits Include all HIPAA-compliant diagnosis codes (ICD-9 required) Include the appropriate billing modifier (where applicable) Submit claims prior to the timely filing deadline 5

6 Claim Tips (continued) Top reasons for claim rejection/denials: Missing or invalid CPT/HCPCS/Revenue code Missing or invalid diagnosis code Missing or inaccurate place of service code Missing name and/or degree level of provider Missing or invalid NPI (for rendering provider and pay to provider) Claims submitted past the timely filing deadline 6

7 Timely Filing All claims for covered services provided to Managed Care members must be received by Magellan in accordance with the following timelines, within 180 days from date of service for most levels of care, except as provided below: Within 180 days from date of discharge for 24-hour levels of care Within 180 days of the last day of the month or the discharge date, whichever is earlier, when billing monthly for longer-treatment episodes of care at a 24-hour level facility Within 180 days of the claim settlement for third party claims. This date is based on the date of the other carrier s EOB, which must be attached to the claim you submit to Magellan. If Magellan does not receive a claim within these timeframes, the claim will be denied for payment. 7

8 Resubmission of Claims Claims with provider billing errors are called Resubmissions Resubmitted claims must be received by Magellan within 180 days of the date on Magellan s explanation of benefits Resubmitted claims can be sent electronically via an 837 file. There is a specific indicator for an adjusted claim (please consult Magellan s EDI companion guide or the EDI hotline for assistance). When re-submitting on paper, the claim must be stamped resubmission (or otherwise noted on box 22 of Form CMS-1500), and include: The date of the original submission The original claim number (if applicable) 8

9 Third Party Liability Medicaid is always the last payer; therefore providers must exhaust all other insurance benefits first, before pursuing payment through Magellan for Managed Care members. Claims for services provided to members who have another primary insurance carrier must be submitted to the primary insurer first in order to obtain an explanation of benefits (EOB). Magellan will not make payments if the full obligations of the primary insurer are not met. As a Magellan provider, you are required to hold members harmless and cannot bill them for the difference between your contracted rate with Magellan and your standard rate. This practice is called balance billing and is not permitted. 9

10 Proper Claims Forms and Codes For the proper procedure code and/or modifier(s) to use for claims, consult your Magellan agreement and reimbursement schedules. Claim form CMS-1500 or UB-04 should be used if submitting claims on paper. For more information, please see Paper Claim Forms and Elements of a Clean Claim in the Getting Paid section which is available on Magellan s provider website at 10

11 Claims Review Upon receipt of a claim, Magellan reviews the documentation and makes a payment determination. As a result of this determination, a remittance advice, known as an Explanation of Payment (EOP) or Explanation of Benefit (EOB) is sent to you. The EOP/EOB includes details of payment or the denial. It is important that you review all EOP/EOBs promptly. If you have questions about EOP/EOBs or claims submitted for Managed Care members, contact Magellan at and select prompt for claims inquiry. 11

12 Eligibility Verification Authorization for service is based on eligibility at the time of the treatment request and does not guarantee payment. Providers are responsible for verifying a member s eligibility for Managed Care coverage: Prior to the first appointment, Throughout the course of treatment, and Prior to submitting claims. Providers may check member eligibility by: Call Nebraska Medicaid Eligibility System (NMES) at Online using the Medicaid Client Eligibility Verification (RFS6) system or Magellan Provider Website after secure login Check Member Eligibility Call Magellan at

13 Provider Medicaid Enrollment All providers must be credentialed and contracted with Magellan (excluding organizational roster staff as the organization locations are credentialed). All providers must be enrolled in the Nebraska Medicaid Program and obtain a provider Medicaid ID in order to provide behavioral health services to Managed Care members. This includes any group members and organizational roster staff that will be providing services to Managed Care members. All providers must maintain their Medicaid provider enrollment and submit updates to the Nebraska Medicaid Program in order to have your claims submissions processed and paid. Moving/Address Change Expanding to a New Location New Member Joining or Leaving Your Group Practice or Organization New Federal Tax ID Number (FTIN) For provider enrollment information, please go to the state website at 13

14 National Provider Identifier (NPI) Numbers The National Provider Identifier (NPI) is a 10-digit identifier required on all HIPAA standard electronic transactions (also required for billing on paper claim forms) There are specific fields on the paper claim forms and electronic file that you should indicate the rendering provider NPI and pay to provider NPI An NPI does not replace a provider s TIN; TINs continue to be required on all claims paper and electronic The NPI is for identification purposes, while the TIN is for tax purposes Important: claims that do not include a TIN will be rejected You can find more information on NPI on the Magellan Provider Website at and go to the Getting Paid section under Electronic Transactions. 14

15 Claims Submission Procedures Specific to the NPI For claims submitted via the ASC X12N 837 professional health care claim transaction, place the Type 2 NPI in the provider billing segment, loop 2010AA; and the Type 1 NPI in loop 2310B.

26 Testing Center Capabilities The Submit EDI Claims application on the Web is available to Magellan providers and trading partners. It allows providers to send ANSI X12N 5010 HIPAA transaction files directly to Magellan and receive ANSI X12N 5010 responses from Magellan without the use of a clearinghouse. The software from EDIFECS, Inc. of Bellevue, WA, allows providers to self-enroll by creating a unique user ID and password, download EDI guideline documentation, upload ANSI X12N 5010 test files, and obtain immediate feedback regarding the results of the validation test. This tool allows providers the opportunity to independently validate their EDI test files (837 X12N 5010 Professional and 837 X12N 5010 Institutional) for HIPAA compliance rules and codes. Files sent to Magellan will be validated, and when production certification is granted, the user will be permitted to submit production claims files and receive responses. 26

27 Testing Center Capabilities (continued) This Web-based testing application is easy to follow and consists of a six step process. You will be assigned an IT analyst to guide you through the process and address any questions. Our providers typically take about 3 to 4 weeks to complete the process, so allow ample time to complete your independent testing so that you can enjoy the benefits of claims direct submission. The following slides walk through the screenshots you will see as you move through the process. Go to to start the process. 27

36 3. Claims Courier Claims Courier (Submit a Claim Online) is a Web-based data entry application for providers submitting professional claims on a claim-at-a-time basis Accessible after sign-in on Magellan s provider Web site. Claims Courier streamlines the claims process by eliminating the middleman No charge to the provider 36

37 Electronic Remittance Advice (ERA) Electronic Remittance Advice means receiving remittance data in an electronic form, such as the HIPAA X You have 2 options to sign up for ERA or 835: Work with an EDI analyst during Direct Submit set-up/testing phase to request Completing the ERA Registration Form and sending it to the Clearinghouse you selected to contract with Please fax the completed form to one of the clearinghouses. (Note, for Availity, you must register online at In order to receive electronic claims remittance, you must have a W-9 and a National Provider Identifier on file with Magellan, and be the owner of the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) under which claims are paid. 37

38 Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Providers can take advantage of Magellan s online feature -- Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) -- for claims payments. You can request to have certain claims payments directly deposited to your business bank account. EFT is quicker than the standard process of mailing and cashing or depositing a check, leaving you more time to devote to your practice. EFT is available to organizations, group practices and individual providers who own the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) linked to the submitted claim. Individual providers within an organization or group practice are not able to receive EFT claims payment. 38

39 Registering for EFT To register for EFT, simply complete and submit the registration form. To access the EFT registration form: Enter your username and password in the Sign-in box on the Magellan provider webpage From your MyPractice page, click Display/Edit Practice Information Click Electronic Funds Transfer Click Add to enter your information Click Save to submit your EFT registration. Upon clicking you will see a confirmation page that you can print for your records. After registering for EFT, Magellan will conduct a transmission test with your bank to make sure payments are transferred properly. During this time, you will continue to receive paper checks via U.S. mail. 39

40 Using EFT Once you begin to receive EFT payments, you will no longer receive an Explanation of Payment (EOP) or Explanation of Benefits (EOB) by U.S. mail for those benefit plans that allow EFT. EOP or EOB information can be accessed and printed through the Check Claim Status application on your MyPractice page of the Magellan website. You must Check Claim Status on the Magellan provider website or review your Electronic Remittance Advice (ERA) online through your clearinghouse in order to obtain the processing result for EFT paid claims. Should a claim be denied, no payment will be due and there will be no EFT transaction. You will need to check you EOP or EOB online via Magellan provider website at 40
