ATTENTION PCS PROVIDERS
CLAIMS DENIED IN ERROR DUE TO PREPARATION FOR CHANGES IN SERVICE LIMITS

In preparation for service limit changes for LT-PCS, logic was altered prior to notifying providers of these changes. Starting with the RA of 10/8/13, claims processed for LT-PCS services for T1019 UB, T1019 UN, and T1019 UP with daily units greater than 32 and less than 47 denied with edit 542 (units exceed maximum daily allowed limit). This logic change is being reversed to put the educational edit 543 (units paid between 33 and 47) back in place temporarily and denied claims are being recycled. No action is required by providers. Please monitor RA messages and the web site for additional upcoming information concerning these service limit changes.

For questions related to this notification, please contact Molina Medicaid Solutions Provider Services at (800) 473-2783 or (225) 924-5040.
