Disallowed Claims

As stated in the March 6, 2009 Provider Bulletin, PACE is currently developing an edit to ensure that the Other Coverage Code (OCC) 6 “Other Coverage Denied-Not a Participating Provider” is being used correctly.

Providers were told that until that edit implementation, paid history would be examined and claims disallowed if found to be submitted with an OCC 6 by a Part D enrolled provider.

Claims voided as a result of this first review appear on the Remittance Advice dated March 27.

If necessary, corrected claims may be resubmitted to the Program on-line within ninety (90) days of the date of service.

Providers should contact the member plan if they are unsure of the Part D claim submission time.

BILLING CARDHOLDERS FOR DISALLOWED OCC 6 CLAIMS IS A VIOLATION OF THE PACE PROVIDER AGREEMENT.
