Health Insurance Claim Form CMS 1500
  • Whats Changed?
  • We want to remind everyone that this is not a
    change in policy.
  • Effective April 1, Cross Over claims will be
    processed using the correct manner.
  • Medicaid reimbursement for these services is less
    than 80 of the Medicare payment level, Medicare
    crossover claims will be paid at 0.00 with the
    claims edit 364 (Exceeds Medicaid Allowed
    Amount.)
  • Use Font size 10 or larger
  • Mail all Ground Ambulance claims to First Health,
    address at end of presentation
  • Most Common Mistakes
  • Using a 2-code system (One code for base rate and
    second code for mileage)
  • Trying to bill using CPT/HCPCS mileage codes
    with
  • A0425
  • A0435
  • A0436
  • Block 10b, make sure and check yes for auto
    accidents
  • Block 10c, make sure to mark for other accidents

4
Eligibility and Claims status information
  • DMAS offers a web-based Internet option (ARS) to
    access information regarding Medicaid or FAMIS
    eligibility, claims status, check status, service
    limits, prior authorization, and pharmacy
    prescriber identification. The website address
    the use to enroll for access to this system is
    http//virginia.fhsc.com. The Medical voice
    response system will provide the same information
    and can be accessed by calling 1-800-884-9730 or
    1-800-772-9996. Both options are available at no
    cost to the provider.

5
Transportation for Managed Care Organizations
(MCO)
  • The Virginia Medicaid Program includes enrolling
    eligible Medicaid recipients in Managed Care
    Organizations (MCO).
  • Eligible enrollees receive emergency air
    ambulance, emergency ground ambulance and
    non-emergency transportation services through the
    MCO.
  • Please contact the appropriate MCO for billing
    instructions.

72
REMINDERS
  • Xeroxed copies are still unacceptable
  • Medicaid reimburses providers for the coinsurance
    and deductible amounts on Medicare claims for
    Medicaid recipients who are dually eligible for
    Medicare and Medicaid. However, the amount paid
    by Medicaid in combination with the Medicare
    payment will not exceed the amount Medicaid would
    pay for the service if it were billed solely to
    Medicaid
  • Use the same CPT/HPCS codes that were billed to
    Medicare (this means using the two code system)
  • Make sure and attach Medicare EOB to 30-R 31-R

73
LogistiCare Contact Telephone Number For A0428
Non-Emergency Ambulance Non-Emergency Services
  • LogistiCares Medicaid recipients toll-free
    reservation line 1-866-386-8331 - This line is
    intended for recipients, facilities, and
    hospitals to schedule trips
  • All A0428 Medicaid Non-Emergency Ambulance trips
