Be aware! Federal BCBS has reduced the PPO rate for some in network mental health providers. Best to keep watch on your EFT or check payments from BCBS FEP plans. Claims for the BCBS FEP PPO plans are now paying at the Managed Care rate instead of the PPO rate. This change occured in mid-September - and as far as I can see - changed without warning to the panelled providers. E-Med Billing is currently researching the validity of this reduction!

Working towards the change in Medicare ID # formats, the CMS has notified Medicare supplemental insurers (e.g., Medigap plans, employer retiree plans, TRICARE for Life, FEHBP plans) and State Medicaid Agencies about the transition from Social Security Number based IDs to new numbers (known as Medicare Beneficiary Identifiers (MBIs)) During the transition period, CMS will process and transmit Medicare crossover claims with either the SS # or new MBI #, based on what is included on the incoming claim to minimize changes and assure a smooth transition. For additional information on the transition, visit the CMS Provider webpage.

CLAIMS ADDRESS CHANGE - Beacon Health Options (formerly Value Options) has changed their address for paper claims. Electronic claims are always the best way to go for expedited payments, but every now and then you will find a plan that just pays more consistently correct when sent as a paper claim. The actual payment may take a day or two longer, but it pays off in the long run because there are fewer rejections. Claim rejections just result in more time spent on the phone (dare I say aggravating?). And time is money!

Use Beacon Health Options, PO Box 1850, Hicksville, NY 11802 for paper claims. But wait… there is a BUT! If it is an Empire Plan managed by Beacon Health Options, then the address is PO Box 1800, Latham, NY 12110. Confusing? Yes – but here at E-Med Billing we’ve got it covered!

It is a good idea to ask all current Medicare clients if their insurance has changed for 2017. We are finding that a good number of clients switch to a Medicare Replacement plan and don't realize that traditional Medicare is no longer their carrier. Optum, BCBS, Aetna are just a few of the carriers that now offer Medicare Replacement plans.

Providers who are servicing Medicare clients may be seeing REM: N699 listed on the 2017 Medicare EOBs. This remark code equates to "Payment adjusted (they mean reduced) based on the Physician Quality Reporting System (the infamous PQRS) Incentive Program". Medicare 2017 pay outs are being reduced by 2% if you did not meet the PQRS requirements for 2015. Most mental health providers have not complied with the PQRS program mostly due to the difficulty understanding the measure codes that Medicare has provided. Very few of the codes even pertain to mental health.
