TIMELY FILING Submission is defined as actual, physical receipt of a claim by DMAS Documentation of timely filing must be submitted with all claim submissions for dates of service over 12 months from service date

TIMELY FILING EXCEPTION DMAS is now requiring providers show due diligence that they are actively pursuing claim payment- – Documentation of contacting DMAS via claim submission or phone contact at least every six months Claims submitted without this required documentation will be considered untimely and denied Denied claims must be submitted and processed within 13 months from the initial date of denial where the initial claim was filed within the 12 month limit

Create a Professional Template CMS

Templates are a mechanism for the user to establish a baseline claim that can be reused as needed. They can : – be used to eliminate the need for having to rekey static data with every submission (i.e. billing provider information). – be established for common submissions (i.e. infant well care, immunizations, etc) – be stored for reuse 29

To establish a template for a professional claim, select Create Professional Template from the Claims drop down menu. You will be transferred to the Create New Professional Template page for template creation 30

Template Name 31

All the fields utilized in the Create Professional Template will be the same as the fields in the Create Professional Claim Except for the buttons below From this template page you can – save the template by clicking on ‘Save Template’ button – reset all the entered fields by clicking on the ‘Reset’ button or; – navigate to the ‘Create New Professional Template’ page by clicking on the ‘Cancel’ button. 32

When saving the template, the system only validates the format of the data entered. After clicking 'Save Template' button, the system displays a successful save message by directing you to the ’Save Template‘ portlet. 33
