How does coordination of benefits work?
-
Mercy Care RBHA is the payer of last resort. If a member has other insurance, that insurance would be primary. We would require a copy of their explanation of benefits. Per our contract, we follow “lesser of” language when we coordinate benefits.
-
Do you have timely filing submission rules?
-
In accordance with contractual obligations, claims for services provided to a Mercy Care RBHA member must be received in a timely manner. Mercy Care RBHA's timely filing limitations are as follows:
- New claim submissions: Claims must be filed on a valid claim form within 180 days (six months) from the date services were performed or from the date of eligibility posting, whichever is later, unless there is a contractual exception. For hospital inpatient claims, date of service means the date of discharge of the patient.
- Claim resubmission: Claim resubmissions must be filed within 365 days (one year) from the date of provision of the covered service or eligibility posting deadline, whichever is later. The only exception is, if a claim is recouped, the provider is given an additional 60 days from the recoupment date to resubmit a claim. Please submit any additional documentation that may effectuate a different outcome or decision.
Failure to submit claims in a timely manner could result in your claim being denied for timely filing.
Additional information regarding claims is available on our Provider Manual web page.
