I would also look up the claim in Availity. It seems like some of my Remits have said that, and when I look the claim up in Availity it said something else. I have had some say the authorization was missing or that the claim denied as a duplicate. In which case they really processed the claim wrong, because we had auth from Evicore and the Claim is not a duplicate to the NOA.

I had this happen on one of my MSHO/MC claims. I waited a little bit and resent it. It did process and pay the second time. I had also sent an NOA as well. I don't know if information crossed the first time, or if it is a bogus denial. It was the first time I had seen it though.

Hello Friends,

I had an invoice for BCBS Medicare Advantage plan deny for reason “This service/procedure requires that a qualifying service/procedure be received and covered”. “Adjusted because the related hospital charges have not been received”. So, I am interpreting this to mean they won’t process my claim until they receive and process the hospital claim? This is a PPS episode and I did send the NOA. Do I wait and rebill? Or what is my next step?

Thanks for any help you can provide!
