This includes Medicare cross-over claims as well. • Two CPT/HCPCS codes meaning “service” with corresponding “mileage” code. • When Medicare “total payment” for both service and mileage added together exceed DMAS maximum rate, crossover claims will be paid at $0.00 with the claims edit 364 “Exceeds Medicaid Allowed Amount”. • All Emergency Ground and Air Ambulance claims will no longer require attachments. • No longer use Modifier “22” in block 24D. Except for claims that are over 200 miles and more than one transport on same day service. (see billing instructions) • All Emergency Air and Emergency Ground Ambulance claims will be subject to post review. • Emergency Air Ambulance Claims will change to a Post Review for Medical Necessity. • CMS 1500 requires Font size 10 or larger • Adjustments must be submitted for only one line of the pair. • Mail all Ground Ambulance claims to First Health, address at end of presentation

  4. Health Insurance Claim Form CMS 1500 • Most Common Mistakes • Claims with DOS October 30, 2009 and before still require one code billing. • Block 10b, make sure and check yes for auto accidents • Block 10c, make sure to mark for other accidents • Third party liability claims – if primary insurance pays at $00.00 make sure block 11d is marked “yes” and block 24a shaded area has TPL00.00. This needs to be entered for each CPT code line. If primary insurance pays, make sure 11d is marked “yes” and block 24a shaded area has dollar amount paid for each CPT code line example: TPL53.69 • Make sure providers NPI number match for blocks 24j and 33a. DO NOT use a physicians NPI in block 24j. • Do not bill DMAS for regular non-emergency service codes A0426, A0428, A0434 and corresponding A0425.However, DMAS is responsible for all emergency and non-emergency Medicare cross-over claims (see billing instructions for cross over claims).

  5.
