Tammy –

 

For the CMS 1500 make sure that your provider is properly registered with Medica.  We struggle with this registration process and tend to not get paid because of errors (not necessarily on our end).  Medica also has a shorter timely filing window and makes you jump through LOTs of hoops if you don’t get any issues resolved before timely filing.  Finally, their standard window for getting back to you is up to 60 days, regularly with no response, which eats up a lot of your timely filing window as well.

 

Good Luck,

 

Cindy

Good afternoon,

We have successfully billed Homemaking on a UB-04 to Medica. Homemaking is generally billed on a CMS 1500 claim form but Medica bills on a UB-04. Make sure you have authorization. Good luck!

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Medica Elderly Waiver Billing

 

Hi,

 

We are billing Homemaking services for the first time to Medica under the Elderly Waiver. Just wondering if anyone has successfully done this and would be willing to answer a few questions?

 

  1. Do we use the UB-04 or the HCFA 1500?
  2. Do you have any tips?

 

Thank you!
