Summary
Connecticut Medicaid (HUSKY Health) now requires all medical records for office and outpatient visits to be completed and authenticated within 30 days of the date of service. Claims should not be submitted until documentation is complete, and failure to meet this timeline may result in financial adjustments during post-payment reviews.
Action Required
Immediately for Connecticut providers: Implement workflow to ensure all HUSKY Health medical records are completed and authenticated within 30 days of service date. Do not submit claims until documentation is complete. Update EMR alerts to flag incomplete records approaching 30-day limit. Train providers on authentication requirements (handwritten or electronic signature with date). Monitor compliance to avoid financial adjustments during post-payment reviews.
