Claim Reprocessing Requests
As we enter our busy season, we want to remind providers that if you
receive a claim that is denied for “no authorization,” the quickest route of
reprocessing a claim for payment is to submit the missing authorization
through the standard authorization process. Please note that you are
submitting based on a denied claim on your cover page of documentation
or on your fax. Include the claim number.
Our clinical team will process the authorization and reprocess your claim
based on the review outcome. This will either allow your claim to be
processed for payment or provide you the appropriate appeal rights based
on the denial reason.
We recommend this method instead of submitting an appeal due to the
turnaround times. We would expect that your claim will receive an
authorization determination and claims reprocessing within 30 days. Note:
If submitting an appeal, the expected timelines could extend significantly
past 30 days.
