NOTICE TO COMMUNITYCARE PROVIDERS

THIS IS TO REMIND ALL COMMUNITYCARE PCPS THAT PAYMENT OF COMMUNITYCARE MANAGEMENT FEES IS MADE AFTER THE SIGNATURE SHEET FROM THE MONTHLY CP-O-92 IS SUBMITTED TO UNISYS FOR PAYMENT AT THE END OF THE MONTH. THE RULES FOR TIMELY FILING APPLY TO THESE MANAGEMENT FEES AS THEY DO TO ALLCLAIMS, IN THAT THEY MUST BE FILED WITHIN ONE YEAR FROM THE DATE OF SERVICE, WHICH IS THE FIRST DAY OF THE MONTH. PROVIDERS SHOULD, THEREFORE, SUBMIT SIGNATURE SHEETS AND CONFIRM RECEIPT OF PAYMENT FOR EACH MONTH IN A TIMELY MANNER, IN ORDER TO AVOID DENIALS BECAUSE OF 
FAILURE TO FILE TIMELY. 

AN ADDITIONAL REMINDER - PROVIDER SHOULD KEEP A COPY OF EACH SIGNATURE 
PAGE WITHOUT THE SIGNATURE. IF PAYMENT IS NOT RECEIVED FOR ANY MONTH, 
AN ORIGINAL SIGNATURE CAN BE PLACED ON THE COPY OF THE SIGNATURE SHEET, 
AND IT CAN BE RESUBMITTED TO UNISYS FOR PAYMENT. 

QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS MATTER MAY BE DIRECTED TO UNISYS PROVIDER 
RELATIONS AT 1-800-473-2783.
