If your office is in need of a printed copy, please contact Provider Relations. Policies referenced in the manual can be found inside the portal and are located under the ‘Resources’ tab.
Coming July 2019: Optum Claims Editing System Implementation Sanford Health Plan is in the process of updating its claims editing software to Optum Claims Editing
System (CES). The update is expected to be implemented this July.
As with our current claims editing system, Experian, Optum CES utilizes national coding edits, edits

North Dakota Medicaid Expansion Eligibility Adjustments Sanford Health Plan processes eligibility files received from North Dakota Department of Human Services (NDDHS) for benefits and claims adjudication. Please note: Sanford Health Plan may be notified by NDDHS that a member has lost eligibility retroactively. When there is a change in eligibility, Sanford Health Plan will process any overpayments by taking deductions on future claims. Claim adjustments will appear on the next EOP for any effected claims. For more information on how providers are able to verify a member’s eligibility, please refer to section 6.1.1 of Sanford Health Plan’s Provider Manual.
Billing Reminder : National Provider Identifier (NPI) numbersAn NPI is a unique, ten digit identifier assigned to a provider or facility. Sanford Health Plan has seen an increase in claim denials due to NPI’s being submitted incorrectly.
On the CMS-1500 claim form or the electronic equivalent, report the NPIs in:
Field 24J Type 1 NPI (Rendering Provider)Field 32A Type 2 NPI (Service Facility) Field 33A Type 1 or 2 NPI (Billing Provider)
On the UB-04 claims form, the NPIs in:
Field 56 NPI (Billing Facility/Provider)Field 76-79 Type 1 NPI
Providers can reference the Sanford Health Plan Provider Manual for more information, or call Provider Relations at (800) 601-5086 if you have questions.
