Timely Filing Each payor has their own individual timely filing deadline. This means that within a certain time span from the date of service, a claim must be filed in order to receive payment. 2/17/2019

Timely Filing What does this mean to me? Please review the monthly D&H billing as soon as possible because we must meet the timely filing deadlines to the individual payors in order to reroute charges. Please route patient billing questions to the Department of Finance, Clinical Trials Billing Compliance as soon as you are aware of them. 2/17/2019
