Summary
L.A. Care Health Plan issued billing reminders emphasizing that authorization details must exactly match claim submissions, including provider NPIs, service dates, CPT/HCPCS codes, and quantities. They also highlighted issues with improper data entry in claim form fields that interfere with automated processing.
Action Required
Immediately: Billing team must verify all claims match authorization details exactly before submission - ensure provider NPI, service dates, CPT/HCPCS codes, and units billed align with approved authorizations. Stop entering notes directly into structured claim form fields or overlaying text on claim forms as this disrupts automated processing. Verify claim status before resubmitting to avoid duplicates.
