Action Required
By 2026-09-30: Billing team must obtain and review the complete policy document from the source URL (https://www.uhcprovider.com/content/dam/provider/docs/public/policies/mpub-archives/comm-plan/oh/community-plan-oh-medical-policy-update-bulletin-september-2026.pdf#maximum-dosage-and-frequency-for-ohio-only). Once retrieved, identify all affected drug codes (HCPCS J-codes, etc.) and maximum dosage/frequency limits. Update billing system edits and claim scrubbing rules to enforce new limits. Configure denial rules for claims exceeding maximum dosage or frequency thresholds. Update provider documentation requirements and communication templates. Train billing staff on new limits before 2026-10-01 to prevent claim denials and rework.
