Claims Submission Procedures • Beginning with dates of service on or after December 1, 2013, you will need
to submit your claims for rendered DMAS behavioral health fee-for-service and Medicaid/FAMIS Managed Care plan services to Magellan.
– For dates of service prior to December 1, submit claims to DMAS per your usual process.
• We strongly encourage all providers to submit claims to Magellan electronically using one of our three EDI Options: Direct Submit, Clearinghouse, or Claims Courier on our provider website.
• For more information, visit the Getting Paid/Electronic Transactions section on the Magellan provider website at www.MagellanHealth.com/provider.
• Submit all paper claims to: Magellan Behavioral Health P.O. Box 1099 Maryland Heights, MO 63043
– For electronic claims, please indicate P.O. Box 1099
5
Claims Tips
• Claims with CPT or HCPCS procedure codes should be submitted electronically on a 837P (Professional) file or paper claim form CMS-1500.
• Claims with Revenue codes should be submitted electronically on a 837I (Institutional) file or paper claim form UB-04.
• Hints for claim completion: – Give complete information on the member (name, address, DOB).
– Give complete provider information (TIN/SSN, “servicing” provider name and address, “billing” provider name and address, National Provider Identifier [NPI] number for both the “servicing” and “billing” provider). Atypical providers use your Atypical Provider Identifier (API).
– Attach the primary carrier’s Explanation of Benefits (EOB), if applicable.
– Include all HIPAA-compliant diagnosis codes.
– Include the appropriate billing modifier (where applicable).
– Submit claims prior to the timely filing deadline.
6
Claims Tips (continued)
Top reasons for claim rejection/denials:
• Missing or invalid CPT/HCPCS/Revenue code
• Missing or invalid diagnosis code
• Missing or inaccurate place of service code
• Missing or invalid NPI (for “servicing” provider and “billing” provider) or API
• Claims submitted past the timely filing deadline
7
Timely Filing
• The initial submission of all claims for covered services provided to members must be received by Magellan within 365 days of the date of service.
– If Magellan does not receive a claim within these timeframes, the claim will be denied for payment.
• Please refer to the DMAS Provider Manual, Chapter 5 – Billing instructions regarding Timely Filing and Denied Claims
– The Medical Assistance Program regulations require the prompt submission of all claims. Virginia Medicaid is mandated by federal regulations [42 CFR § 447.45(d)] to require the initial submission of all claims within 12 months from the date of service. Providers are encouraged to submit billings within 30 days from the last date of service or discharge.
– Denied claims must be submitted and processed on or before thirteen months from date of the initial denied claim where the initial claim was filed within the 12 months limit to be considered for payment by Magellan.
8
Claim Denials and Corrected Claims • Claim denials will either be sent on the provider paper remittance or the Electronic
Remittance Advice (ERA), whichever the provider receives. Providers who sign up for Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) will be able to view paper remittances on the Magellan Provider Website after secure login “Check Claim Status/EOB Search”.
– Electronic submissions are the preferred method for claims submission, payment and remittance advice.
• If there is a need for a corrective change to a paid claim, the corrective claim should be sent as an adjusted claim and the original claim will be adjusted, not voided.
– Please note: Only claims that were originally paid and have changes should be sent as corrected.
• An originally denied claim should just be submitted as a new claim, even if there are changes.
• Corrected claims can be submitted electronically by selecting the appropriate “corrected claim field” (please consult Magellan’s EDI companion guide).
• For paper submissions, please write “corrected claim” on the top of the claim form and note the Medicaid Resubmission code and original reference # in box 22 on CMS-1500.
– Highlighting the changes will ensure Magellan understands the changes being made.
9
Dual-Eligible Members and Coordination of Benefits
• Claims for dual-eligibles should be submitted to Medicare for reimbursement, for services covered by Medicare. The claims will crossover to DMAS for processing for the Medicaid portion as currently being done. Magellan will not receive the dual-eligible claims.
• Claims for services provided to members who have another primary insurance carrier must be submitted to the primary insurer first in order to obtain an Explanation of Benefits (EOB). Magellan will not make payments if the full obligations of the primary insurer are not met.
– There are some service codes that will be TPL exempt (further clarification will be provided).
10
Claims Review
• Upon receipt of a claim, Magellan reviews the documentation and makes a payment determination.
• As a result of this determination, a remittance advice, known as an Explanation of Payment (EOP) or Explanation of Benefits (EOB) is sent to you.
• The EOP/EOB includes details of payment or the denial.
• It is important that you review all EOP/EOBs promptly.
• You can review your EOB online after sign-in with your secure log-in to www.MagellanHealth.com/provider. Select “Check Claims Status” and select the EOB Search tab.
11
Eligibility Verification
• Authorization for service is based on eligibility at the time of the treatment request and does not guarantee payment.
• Providers are responsible for verifying a member’s eligibility for coverage:
– Prior to the first appointment,
– Throughout the course of treatment, and
– Prior to submitting claims.
• Providers may check member eligibility beginning on 12/1/13 by:
– Using the Magellan provider website; after secure login, go to “Check Member Eligibility.”
– Call Magellan at 1-800-424-4046 and speak to customer service representative.
12
National Provider Identifier (NPI) Numbers
• The National Provider Identifier (NPI) is a 10-digit identifier required on all HIPAA standard electronic transactions.
– There are specific fields on the paper claim forms and electronic file that you should indicate the “rendering provider NPI” and “pay to provider NPI.”
– For Atypical providers, you would use your Atypical Provider Identifier (API).
• An NPI does not replace a provider’s TIN; the TIN/SSN continues to be required on all claims – paper and electronic.
– Note: this is a change from the current billing process with DMAS
• The NPI is for identification purposes, while the TIN/SSN is for tax purposes.
• Important: claims that do not include a TIN/SSN will be rejected.
• You can find more information on NPI on the Magellan provider website at www.MagellanHealth.com/provider; go to the “Getting Paid” section under “Electronic Transactions.”
13
National Provider Identifier (NPI) Numbers (continued)
• For organizations, please bill the organization as the rendering and pay to NPI (this excludes inpatient facilities who bill on UB-04 and requires attending physician).
• For groups, please bill the individual as the rendering NPI and the group as the pay to NPI.
• For Atypical providers, you would use your Atypical Provider Identifier (API).
14
Frequently Asked Questions
• Please review the Claims section in the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document posted on the Magellan of Virginia website www.MagellanofVirginia.com and go to the “For Providers” section.
– We are continually updating this FAQ document with answers to all questions we receive from providers regarding the implementation.
Electronic Claim Submission Options And Tracking
16
What’s in it for Providers?
• Improved Efficiency
– No paper claims. No envelopes. No stamps.
– Prompt confirmation of receipt or incomplete claim.

– Up-front electronic review ensures higher percentage of clean claims.
– Magellan staff do not re-key information from paper claim, eliminating human error.

17
1. Claims Clearinghouses • Act as a middleman between the
provider and Magellan, and can transform non-HIPAA compliant to X12N005010 compliant 837.
• Magellan accepts 837 Professional and 837 Institutional transactions from the following contracted Clearinghouses:
– PayerPath (Allscripts) – Capario – Availity – Emdeon Business Services – RelayHealth – Gateway EDI – Office Ally – IGI Healthcare
• If you are currently working with a different Clearinghouse, you may continue to use your Clearinghouse. You will need to have your Clearinghouse work with 1 of the 8 Magellan
contracted Clearinghouses to submit your EDI transactions.
• Note that there may be charges from the clearinghouses (check directly with the clearinghouse).
• It is critical that the proper Payer ID is
used so claims are sent to Magellan:
– The following payer unique Payer IDs are required for all clearinghouses:
• 837P and 837I: 01260
– The following unique Payer IDs are for Emdeon only:
• 837I: 12X27
18
2. Direct Submit
• Primarily for high-volume claim submitters, but there is no minimum number necessary for submission.
• Tests X12N 5010 HIPAA-compliant 837 files to be sent directly to Magellan.
• Magellan offers providers the EDI Direct Submit testing application, which is an electronic claims tool available on an EDI-dedicated website at www.edi.MagellanProvider.com.
• EDI Assistance Hot Line: 1-800-450-7281 ext. 75890, and email: [email protected].
• Direct Submit streamlines the process by eliminating the middleman.
• No charge to the provider from Magellan to use Direct Submit.

1. The TA1 Response – Shows the envelope information and format of the file was accepted or rejected.
2. The 999 Response – Verifies the HIPAA edits.
3. Companion Guide Edits – The Magellan specific required edits. Only rejected claims will be reported back on a 277.
4. The Host Claims Edits – These are claim edits for Eligibility and provider information. All claims sent to Magellan’s host system will receive a status of accepted or rejected on a 277. A provider will receive 277 transaction report to inform them which claims were accepted or rejected.
21
Capacities and Limits
• Unlimited amount of files with unique control numbers.
• Magellan requests submitters to limit files to 5000 claims per file.

• EDI Assistance Hot Line: 1-800-450-7281 ext. 75890
22
Testing Center Capabilities
• The Submit EDI Claims application on the provider website is available to Magellan providers and trading partners. It allows providers to send ANSI X12N 5010 HIPAA transaction files directly to Magellan and receive ANSI X12N 5010 responses from Magellan without the use of a clearinghouse.
• The software from EDIFECS, Inc. of Bellevue, WA, allows providers to self-enroll by creating a unique user ID and password, download EDI guideline documentation, upload ANSI X12N 5010 test files, and obtain immediate feedback regarding the results of the validation test.
• This tool allows providers the opportunity to independently validate their EDI test files (837 X12N 5010 Professional and 837 X12N 5010 Institutional) for HIPAA compliance rules and codes.
• Files sent to Magellan will be validated, and when production certification is granted, the user will be permitted to submit production claims files and receive responses.
23
Testing Center Capabilities (continued)
• This web-based testing application is easy to follow and consists of a six step process.
• You will be assigned an IT analyst to guide you through the process and address any questions.
• Our providers typically take about 3 to 4 weeks to complete the process, so allow ample time to complete your independent testing so that you can enjoy the benefits of claims direct submission.
– We strongly encourage all providers who would like to use Direct Submit to begin the process now to be ready to submit EDI files directly to Magellan beginning on December 1.
• The following slides walk through the screenshots you will see as you move through the process.
• Go to www.edi.MagellanProvider.com to start the process.

32
3. Claims Courier • Claims Courier (Submit a Claim Online) is a
web-based data entry application for providers submitting professional claims on a claim-at-a-time basis.
– This application is not for institutional claim submissions.
• Accessible after sign-in on Magellan’s provider website: www.MagellanHealth.com/provider.
• Claims Courier streamlines the claims process by eliminating the middleman.
• No charge to the provider from Magellan to use this application.
33
Electronic Remittance Advice (ERA)
• Electronic Remittance Advice means receiving remittance data in an electronic form, such as the HIPAA X12.835.
• You have two options to sign up for ERA or 835:
– Work with an EDI analyst during Direct Submit set-up/testing phase to request.
– Completing the ERA Registration Form and sending it to the Clearinghouse with which you chose to contract.
• Please fax the completed form to one of the clearinghouses. (Note, for Availity, you must register online at www.availity.com.)
• In order to receive electronic claims remittance, you must have a W-9 and a National Provider Identifier (or Atypical Provider Identifier) on file with Magellan, and be the owner of the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) under which claims are paid.
34
Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT)
• Providers can take advantage of Magellan’s online feature -- Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) -- for claims payments. You can request to have certain claims payments directly deposited to your business bank account.
• EFT is quicker than the standard process of mailing and cashing or depositing a check, leaving you more time to devote to your practice.
• EFT is available to organizations, group practices and individual providers who own the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) linked to the submitted claim.
– Individual providers within an organization or group practice are not able to receive EFT claims payment.
35
Registering for EFT • To register for EFT, simply complete and submit the registration form.
• To access the EFT registration form: – Enter your username and password in the Sign-in box at
www.MagellanHealth.com/provider.
– From your MyPractice page, click Display/Edit Practice Information.
– Click Electronic Funds Transfer.
– Click Add to enter your information.
– Click Save to submit your EFT registration.
– Upon clicking, you will see a confirmation page that you can print for your records.
– If you do not have a provider website login yet, please request via email at [email protected] an EFT registration form to complete and fax to Magellan
• After registering for EFT, Magellan will conduct a transmission test with your bank to make sure payments are transferred properly. During this time, you will continue to receive paper checks via U.S. mail.
36
Using EFT
• Once you begin to receive EFT payments, you will no longer receive an Explanation of Payment (EOP) or Explanation of Benefits (EOB) by U.S. mail for those benefit plans that allow EFT.
• EOP or EOB information can be accessed and printed through the Check Claim Status application on your MyPractice page of the Magellan provider website.
• You must use Check Claim Status on the Magellan provider website, or review your Electronic Remittance Advice (ERA) online through your clearinghouse, in order to obtain the processing result for EFT paid claims.
• Should a claim be denied, no payment will be due and there will be no EFT transaction. You will need to check you EOP or EOB online via the Magellan provider website at www.MagellanHealth.com/provider.
