Summary
Nevada Medicaid released the top 5 reasons for prior authorization denials in Q2 2024, providing specific guidance to avoid future denials. The main issues were failure to meet medical necessity criteria, not responding to requests for additional information, recipient eligibility problems, missing timely filing deadlines, and using outdated forms.
Action Required
Immediately: Nevada Medicaid providers must implement denial prevention measures: 1) Review Provider Type Medicaid Services Manual and Billing Guidelines before PA submissions, 2) Check EVS portal frequently for pending PAs requiring additional information, 3) Verify recipient eligibility in EVS portal before submitting PAs, 4) Review Nevada Medicaid Billing Manual Chapter 4 for timely filing requirements, 5) Use only current PA forms from the official Forms Page. Failure to follow these steps will continue to result in PA denials.
