We’re continuing to get claims through the system as quickly as we can and have added additional staff to work on these priority claims.
Some common errors that can delay processing times for claims and authorizations are included below. Please take a few minutes to review this information.
Taxonomy Codes
Our new system now requires you to include your taxonomy code on professional claims. The taxonomy code should populate in box 24j, please be sure to include indicator “ZZ” in box 24i. If you’re unsure of your code give us a call and we can assist.
Prior Authorization
Inpatient hospital stays require prior authorization irrespective of the prior authorization for the procedure. Hospitals and surgeons need to coordinate submission of prior authorization requests for procedures requiring an inpatient hospital stay.
NCCI
Please remember that we are now compliant with National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI). If you have seen an increase in claims returned to you for corrections, it may be a result of CCI edits. Many claims now need a specific modifier in order to pay. There are many public resources available to guide NCCI coding.
How to fix the Eligibility and Claims Status Error – “Provider Not Found”
If you have received an error “provider not found” when making an inquiry, verify the NPI you’re using. The correct NPI to use is the Organization’s Billing NPI. Using the Physician’s (rendering) NPI will cause this error to occur.
