Hi all,

 

As a newbie to the wild wacky world of billing, does anyone have a list of the acronyms used?   This is like learning Klingon while trying to keep up with all you experts!

 

I would be very much appreciative to have a list for reference purposes if available,

 

Thank you in advance

We also do not bill raps or NOA for Optum bundled. So far, we have not had any issues. Hope this helps!

We have not been sending RAP’s or NOA for VA Optum bundled authorizations and we have not had any troubles getting the final paid.

So, just to be clear for VA Bundled services payable through Optum they no longer require a RAP?  We hadn’t had any bundled authorizations for quite awhile but now we have some and I have been sending RAPs and Finals; they are paying but got the message listed below.  I’m afraid if I stop sending the RAP they will deny the Final.

Mary,

Optum does not require NOA's. Hope this helps!

Hello!

 

Anyone receiving letter from Optum payer VACCN stating “Bill type 322, 32A and 32D are not valid bill types for dates of service January 1, 2022 and after”?

 

Do they no longer require RAP’s?
