Summary

Priority Health now requires specific medical documentation when billing above Medically Unlikely Edit (MUE) limits. Claims exceeding MUE limits without proper documentation explaining medical necessity will be reduced or denied, even when care is clinically appropriate.

Action Required

Action needed
Immediately: Billing team must implement pre-submission review process for all claims exceeding MUE limits. Providers must document specific clinical factors (increased severity, complications, exacerbations) requiring additional units in medical records before claim submission. Include operative reports, progress notes, diagnostic results, treatment plans, and physician orders. Update EMR templates to prompt for MUE-specific documentation. Claims without proper documentation will be reduced or denied.
