Jul 15, 2026
Summary
CareSource Indiana (Medicaid and Marketplace) now requires providers to submit a completed Itemized Bill Cover Sheet with high-dollar claims (billed charges over $500,000) and claims flagged for itemized bill review. This applies to DRG claims, outliers, outpatient grouper pricing, and percent-of-charge contracts over $25,000. Missing documentation may delay or deny claims.
Action Required
Immediate: Billing team must obtain the Itemized Bill Cover Sheet from CareSource.com (Forms or Claims pages) and integrate into submission workflow. For all claims with billed charges over $500,000, claims identified for itemized bill review, DRG/outlier claims, outpatient grouper pricing, or percent-of-charge contracts over $25,000: (1) Complete Section 1 of the cover sheet at time of submission; (2) Type the form for clarity; (3) Submit via email (ClaimsItemizedBill@CareSource.com) or fax (1-937-396-3173 or toll-free 1-844-794-1579); (4) Keep file size under 12 MB, split large files across multiple submissions and mark Section 2 accordingly; (5) Use cover sheet for both new and corrected claims. For vendor-submitted requests (Optum, 6 Degrees Health, etc.), submit itemized bills directly to the vendor per their instructions. Failure to include required documentation will result in claim processing delays or denials.
