  • 1.  Timely Filing

    Posted 03-24-2020 09:53
    Doug,

    Last Thursday the Payor Relations Committee met and discussed the issue of timely filing during these times.  We agreed to draft a letter to be sent to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners and state insurance commissioners asking for relief from timely filing issues.  

    That is in process.  

    Any data the members can add to this letter would be welcome.

    Thanks Bob - in these discussions please don't forget to specifically call out appeal deadlines as well - some payers have differing deadlines for initial claims vs. appeals.

    All,

     

    If you could also add to the letter requesting the insurance companies give us a secure email that we can email Documentation, reports, adjustment forms, appeal forms, etc.   Currently, Anthem allows the email but we cannot include documents, Medicare allows everything, as well as United healthcare.   Aetna wants us to Fax.   Some of us are unable to send fax from our setup we currently have at home.   

     

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

     

    Thanks

    Rhonda
