    General Presubmitted Questions

    9

  • Jurisdiction 6 – Part A

    General Question #1

    1. Question: There seems to be long hold times when calling into payers. What are payers doing to address these long hold times? This is across all payers, however has been noted for some upwards of 40-50 minutes.

    Answer: National Government Services average speed of answering an initial call placed to the J6 Provider Contact Center (PCC) is currently less than 1 minute

    PCC – telephone # 877-702-0990

    Interactive Voice Response (IVR) System: telephone # 877-309-4290

    10

  • Jurisdiction 6 – Part A

    General Question #2

    2. Question: What is your preferred method of refunding overpayments for a UB04 and 1500 professional claims?

    Do you prefer to receive a Corrected or cancellation claim?

    Do you have a specific Recoupment form that should be used?

    Do you prefer a refund check?

    Answer: When an adjusted/corrected/cancel claim will resolve the issue, that is a preferred method. Otherwise, NGS offers several methods to refund an overpayment.

    The preferred method is to use the standardized “Immediate recoupment” process. This process allows the avoidance of interest to accrue.

    11

  • Jurisdiction 6 – Part A

    General Question #2

    Submit your request by fax, or by using the Immediate Recoupment Request - Electronic/Email Form.

    To request an immediate recoupment by fax, you must complete the Immediate Recoupment Request Form.

    A request for immediate offset must be received no later than the 16th day from the date of the initial demand letter.

    If you have already submitted a request for all future recoupments, you no longer need to request an immediate recoupment for each demand letter you receive.

    Please Note: You can terminate the immediate recoupment process at any time; however, the request to terminate must be in writing.

    Additional Information: www.NGSMedicare.com > Overpayment

  • Jurisdiction 6 – Part A

    General Question #3

    3. Question: Does each facility have a specific provider representative that we can go to with complicated issues that are not resolved by the initial contact with the provider call centers? If so, who do we contact to get the name of our provider representative? If not, can we get one?

    Answer: NGS does not assign a specific Provider Outreach Education (POE) representative to a facility. Per CMS requirements you must make all initial inquiries via self-service technology, the Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system, or the Provider Contact Center.

    General Question #3

    If at least 30 days have elapsed since contact with the Provider Customer Care Department and you either have not received a response or are dissatisfied with the response, please contact the Provider Outreach Department at [email protected] with:

    Question/Description of issue and include any reason codes involved

    Activity number assigned by Customer Care

    Date you opened the request

    Your facility’s Medicare legacy provider number

    What you have been told by Customer Care

  • Jurisdiction 6 – Part A

    General Question #4

    4. When a previously submitted claim denies requiring medical notes or an EOB (Explanation of Benefits) it requires the Provider to submit the additional documentation to adjudicate the claim, but since there are no occurrence codes to add no additional changes can be add on the UB04 claim form. Due to no changes being made on the UB04 claim form some Insurance payers require an appeal/adjustment claim form to be completed and that documentation is either mailed or faxed in for reprocessing of the claim manually. The occurrence code could be a useful tool for the provider to add an occurrence code on the UB04 claim (additional documentation) to enable the provider to submit a replacement claim using the MN AUC form to comply with the necessary documentation needed to adjudicate the claim vs. writing up an appeal/adjustment claim form and submitting either snail mail or faxing.

    15

  • Jurisdiction 6 – Part A

    General Question #4

    NGS articles:

    www.NGSMedicare.com > Claims & Appeals > About Appeals > select article title from side

    “Submit an Adjustment to Correct Claims Partially Denied by Automated LCD/NCD Denials”

    Process only applies to line items denied for 55A00, 55A01, 52NCD, 53NCD, 54NCD

    “Reopenings for Minor Errors and Omissions”

    Clerical error/omission reopenings are granted at the discretion of the contractor

    Note: If the above articles do not apply you will need to file an appeal via NGSConnex (preferred method); eSMD; or hard copy

    16

  • Jurisdiction 6 – Part A

    General Question #55. When insurance companies send out new cards we are noting that not all cards

    contain the EDI number. This is a very helpful item to have on the card for us to be able to identify where the claim needs to go. And to ensure the correct coverage is selected. We even scan a copy of the card and attach it in our system.

    Will payors consider ensuring this is on the cards? Some payers are not sending new cards when coverages have changed – so

    the patient continues to carry the OLD card which creates an issue if anything has changed (from the group number to the discount logos etc). Short of having to look up every patient on a website, this is creating some concerns. And the use of digital copies (a picture of the card on a patient’s phone) is very difficult for us to save a copy of the card.

    Is it just the cost savings of printing and mailing the cards that is prompting these changes?

    What suggestions would the payers have to overcome some of these difficulties?

    Answer: Does not apply to Medicare

    Your Presubmitted Questions for NGS

    18

  • Jurisdiction 6 – Part A

    Presubmitted NGS Question 1: MSP

    Question: MSP claims-particularly no-fault claims. We follow the MSP Billing and Adjustment guide – Process A-J from your website, which is very helpful. There is one billing scenario that does not seem to apply to any of the Process flows:a) The patient supplies the MVA billing information and claim

    number to the provider. The claim(s) are billed. The issues starts when the patient does not provide the insurer with the necessary paperwork that is required. This can go on for a very long time. Numerous letters are sent to the patient by the MVA payer and by the provider.

    b) The provider has no denial. The MSP record shows a No-Fault carrier. What process would we follow to bill Medicare – and what Value Code(s) and Remark code would be appropriate?

    19

  • Jurisdiction 6 – Part A

    Answer to Presubmitted NGS Question 1: MSP

    Answer: a) CMS IOM Pub 100-05, Medicare Secondary Payer Manual, Chapter 5, Section 40.6.2 states:

    “Note: Individuals are not required to file a claim with a liability insurer or required to cooperate with a provider in filing such a claim. However, beneficiaries are required to cooperate in the filing of no-fault and workers’ compensation claims. If the beneficiary refuses to cooperate in filing of no-fault or workers’ compensation claims Medicare does not pay. Conditional benefits are not payable if payment cannot be made under no-fault insurance because the provider or the beneficiary failed to file a proper claim. (See Chapter 1, §20, for definition.) Exception: When failure to file a proper claim is due to mental or physical incapacity of the beneficiary, and the provider could not have known that a no-fault claim was involved, this rule does not apply.”

    20

  • Jurisdiction 6 – Part A

    Answer to Presubmitted NGS Question 1: MSP

    CMS IOM 100-05, Chapter 1, Section 10 states: “When Medicare is the secondary payer, the provider, physician, or other supplier, or beneficiary must first submit the claim to the primary payer.” Therefore: If the beneficiary was involved in an accident and no-fault

    insurance is available, the beneficiary is responsible for filing a claim with the no-fault insurer.

    If the beneficiary has filed a claim with the no-fault insurer, and has given the provider the name, address and necessary information regarding the no-fault insurer, then the beneficiary is being cooperative.

    However, if the no-fault insurer is requesting additional information from the beneficiary and the beneficiary is not responding to those requests, the provider may opt to go

    21

  • Jurisdiction 6 – Part A

    Answer to Presubmitted NGS Question 1: MSP

    ahead and submit a conditional claim to Medicare, as long as 120 days have passed since the provider first billed the no-fault insurer. The provider should use an explanation code of ‘DA’ in the Remarks field along with the date the no-fault was billed.

    22

  • Jurisdiction 6 – Part A

    Answer to Presubmitted Question 1: MSP

    b) In this situation: If the provider billed but did not receive information from the

    beneficiary regarding the no-fault insurer, the provider can go ahead and submit a claim to the no-fault insurer.

    If the beneficiary has not provided information, but the provider finds sufficient information on the beneficiary’s MSP record at the common working file (CWF), the provider can submit a claim to the no-fault insurer.

    If 120 days have passed and no payment or denial has been received, the provider can go ahead and submit a conditional claim to Medicare, using the 14 value code with zero amount, the 02 occurrence code with date of accident, a ‘C’ payer code with the name of the no-fault insurer, and a ‘DA’ explanation code along with the date the no-fault insurer was billed in the Remarks field.

    24

  • Jurisdiction 6 – Part A

    Presubmitted NGS Question 2: Crossover

    Question: Why does Medicare crossover to more than one payer? This creates credit balances for the provider.

    Answer: The Coordination of Benefits Agreement (COBA) Program established a standard contract between CMS and other health insurance organizations that defines the criteria for transmitting enrollee eligibility data and Medicare adjudicated claim data for the purposes of coordinating benefits. In 2006, CMS consolidated the automatic or eligibility file-based crossover process under the Medicare Benefits Coordination and Recovery Center (BCRC). Medicare will cross over to all identified payers, with a cross-over agreement, to ensure that all Medicare claims are properly adjudicated for each beneficiary across all eligible payers

  • Jurisdiction 6 – Part A

    Presubmitted NGS Question 3: PO Modifier

    Question: We have off-site provider based clinics. Do services ordered at an off-site provider based clinic but are performed at our hospital require a PO modifier? For example blood drawn at off-site clinic and sent to hospital lab to perform the actual test.

    Answer: The determinative factor is whether or not the item or service is being paid through the OPPS. If an item or service is being provided by an applicable provider and is being paid through the OPPS, then the PO modifier should be applied.

    For instance, a drug with an OPPS status indicator of “K” or a laboratory test that is packaged into an OPPS service should have the PO modifier applied.

    27

  • Jurisdiction 6 – Part A

    Answer to Presubmitted NGS Question 3: PO Modifier

    Answer, continued:

    If a service is not paid through the OPPS, such as a laboratory test paid separately through the Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule, it should not have the PO modifier applied.

    Note that the Medicare Claims Processing Manual Chapter 4 20.6.11 was updated in July 2015 to read: “This modifier is to be reported with every HCPCS code for all outpatient hospital items and services furnished in an off-campus provider-based department a hospital.”
