ATTENTION HOSPITAL PROVIDERS

It has been brought to the Department's attention that the fee schedules for outpatient hospitals had an incorrect indicator displaying. The fee schedules incorrectly indicated that reimbursement for some procedure codes were being limited to crossover claims only. This was an error on the fee schedules that is being fixed. Claim reimbursement was not impacted by this error therefore no recycle/resubmission of claims is needed.

Attention Pharmacists and Prescribing Providers:

Pharmacy claims for shared health plan or legacy Medicaid recipients for combination acetaminophen products will continue to deny when the dose of acetaminophen exceeds four (4) grams per day; claims for combination aspirin products will still deny when the dose exceeds six (6) grams per day. Dosing will be accumulated from all active prescriptions. The denial cannot be overridden through Point of Sale claims processing.

ATTENTION PROVIDERS:

Starting July 18, 2013, a notice was posted on Molina's web site and in RA messages from Molina informing providers that effective 8/6/2013 (date of payment), Medicare crossover claims for Behavioral Health services would be denied with new edit 133 and the claims would automatically be sent to Magellan for processing. We are notifying you that there is a delay in the automatic transfer, but that it will occur, just at a point toward the end of this month or early in September. Providers will continue to see these denials (edit 133) in Molina's processing system, and all of these claims (with payment date 8/6/2013 and after) will be transmitted to Magellan. No action is required on the part of the provider. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
