Claims Submitting Clean Claims

Clean Claims Clean claims will be paid within thirty (30) days Each claim payment check will be accompanied by an Explanation of Payment, which itemizes your charges for that reimbursement and the amount of your check from Superior. For electronic pharmacy claim submissions, claims will be paid in eighteen (18) days Once a clean claim is received, Superior will either pay the total amount of the claim or part of the claim in accordance with the contract, or deny the entire claim or part of the claim, and notify the Provider why the claim will not be paid within the 30-day claim payment period Payment is considered to have been paid on the date of issue of a check for payment and its corresponding EOB to the Provider by the MCO, or the date of electronic transmission, if payment is made electronically STAR, STAR+PLUS, and STAR Health Institutional Claims must contain Present on Admission (POA) indicators, and Superior will utilize the POA information submitted on claims to reduce and/or deny payment for Provider Preventable Conditions. For per diem hospital payments, Superior utilizes a methodology for reduction and/or denial of payment for services related to a Provider Preventable Condition that was not POA

Claims Filing: Initial Submission Claims must be filed within 95 days from the Date of Service (DOS) Filed on CMS 1500 or UB04 Filed electronically through clearinghouse Filed directly through website Filed on paper claim 1 ST time paper claims, mailed to: Superior HealthPlan P.O. Box 3003 Farmington, MO 63640-3803 Claims must be completed in accordance with Medicaid billing guidelines All member and provider information completed Providers should include a copy of the Explanation of Payment (EOP) when other insurance is involved

Electronic Claims Filing If provider uses EDI software but is not setup with a clearinghouse, they must bill SHP via paper claims or through our website until the provider has established a relationship with a clearinghouse listed on our website To send claim adjustments via EDI, the CLM05-3 "Claim Frequency Type Code" must be "7" and in the 2300 loop a REF *F8* must be sent with the original claim number (or the claim will reject). Claims can also be submitted through the Superior HealthPlan website Claims submitted through our website are considered Electronic Claims We will cover more on our Secure Web Portal at the end of this training FILE ONLINE AT www.superiorhealthplan.com!

Paper Claims Filing To assist our mail center in improving the speed and accuracy to complete scanning please take the following steps: Remove all staples from pages Do not fold the forms Claim must be typed using a 12pt font or larger and submitted on original CMS 1500 or UB04 red form (not a copy). Handwritten Claim forms are no longer accepted When information is submitted on a red form, our Optical Character Recognition ORC scanner can put the information directly into our system. This speeds up the process and eliminates potential sources for errors and helps us to process your claims faster

Billing Tips & Reminders Submitting Claims Corrections, Addressing Denials & Rejections

Billing Tips & Reminders Superior HealthPlan s Provider Manual provides guidelines on how to submit clean claims and highlights the requirements for completing UB04 or CMS 1500 Forms Some items to remember! National Provider Identifier (NPI) of a Referring or Ordering Physician on a claim Appropriate 2 digit location code must be listed Appropriate Modifiers must be billed when applicable Taxonomy codes are required on encounter submissions effective 12/13/2013 for the Referring or Ordering Physician ZZ qualifier for HCFA or B3 qualifier for UB04 to indicate taxonomy

Claims - CMS 1500 Referring Provider: [C] 17 Name of the referring Provider and 17b NPI Rendering Provider: [R] Place your NPI in box 24J (Unshaded) and Taxonomy Code in box 24J (shaded). These are required fields when billing Superior claims. If you do not have an NPI, place your API (atypical provider number/ltss #) in Box 33b Billing Provider: [R] Billing NPI# in box 33a and Billing Taxonomy # (or API # if no NPI) in 33b 34

Sterilization Form Providers must complete all sections of the Sterilization Consent Form as applicable. All of the fields must be completed legibly in order for the consent form to be valid. Any illegible field will result in a denial of the submitted consent form. Providers must resubmit denied consent forms with all required fields on the consent form itself completed legibly; resubmission with information indicated on a cover page or letter will not be accepted

Corrected Claim Form A corrected claim is a correction or a change of information to a previously finalized clean claim in which additional information from the Provider is required to perform the adjustment. Corrections can be made, but are not limited to: Patient Control Number (PCN) Date of Birth (DOB) Date of Onset X-Ray Date Place of Service (POS) Present on Admission (POA) Quality Billed Prior Authorization Number (PAN) Beginning Date of Service (DOS) Ending Date of Service or Discharge Date

Corrected Claims Filing Must reference original claim # on EOP Must be submitted within 120 days of adjudication paid date Resubmission of claims is now a function of EDI. You must provide the following information to your billing company: To send claim adjustments via EDI, the CLM05-3 must be 7 and in the 2300 loop a REF *F8* must be sent with the original claim number (or the claim will reject) OR Submit claim adjustments through the secure SHP web portal! At this time, batch adjustments are not an option via the SHP secure portal. Corrected or Adjusted paper claims can also be submitted to: Superior HealthPlan Attn: Claims PO Box 3003 Farmington, MO 63640-3803

Claims Appeal Form A claims appeal is a request for reconsideration of a claim for anything other than medical necessity and/or any request that would require review of medical records to make a determination.

Claim Adjustments, Reconsiderations & Disputes All claim adjustments (corrected claims), or requests for reconsideration, or disputes must be received within 120 days from the date of notification or denial Adjusted or Corrected Claim The Provider is CHANGING the original claim. Correction to a prior- finalized claim that was in need of correction as a result of a denied or paid claim Claim Appeals Often require additional information from the Provider Request for Reconsideration: Provider disagrees with the original claim outcome (payment amount, denial reason, etc.) Claim Dispute: Provider disagrees with the outcome of the Request for Reconsideration Visit www.superiorhealthplan.com for easy to fill Corrected Claim or Claim Appeal Forms!

Appealing Denied Claims Submit appeal within 120 days from the date of adjudication or denial Attach & complete the claim appeal form from the website Include sufficient documentation to support appeal Include copy of UB04 or CMS1500 (corrected or original) or EOP copy with claim # identified Claims appeals must be in writing and submitted to: Superior Health Plan Attn: Claims Appeals P.O.

You do not receive an EOP with a rejection- You will receive a letter that details the rejection reason

Authorizations & Billing Reminder Avoid Denials- remember to use the right Tax ID LTSS Number when requesting authorizations! If your authorization denies because you billed with a different combination than was authorized You CAN appeal Rebill with correct combo Request Reconsideration by providing the authorization number you did obtain and ask it be assigned to the correct combination When calling in to request an authorization or to notify of a patient admission, please have available the Tax Identification Number (TIN) and National Provider Identifier (NPI) or LTSS ID Number (Atypical ID) that you will use to bill your claim. The representative handling your call will be requesting the numbers from you. If you do not have your identifiers available, your request will not be processed and you will be asked to call back with the necessary information. It will be very important that the numbers you use to request your authorization match the numbers you will use to bill your claim or your claim will deny.

Recurring Bills Reminder Superior HealthPlan may issue authorizations that extend to multiple dates of service In order for the claim to process correctly, Dates of Services billed on a claim must be covered under a single authorization Bill must reflect the services under the authorization- including billing period 1 claim per authorization period Superior HealthPlan frequently issues authorizations that span over multiple dates of service. To avoid claim denials, the dates of service billed on a claim must be covered under one single authorization. If the dates of service billed are covered by multiple authorizations, the claim should be split and billed on separate claims for each authorization. HHSC Form #
