MISSISSIPPI MEDICAID : 96 - Non Covered Services Denial
- When MS Medicaid denied the claim as 96 - non-covered services then there could be two reasons, first, the patient enrolled in the CAN program then the claim should be billed CAN covered insurance and second is patient plan limited to family planning benefits, so the service is not covered under the patient plan.
- There are three insurance in the Mississippi CAN program, 1) Magnolia Health Plan, 2) United Healthcare, 3) Molina Healthcare
- Correct CAN insurance can be found through IVR by calling the insurance or on the website under "Lock-In Information" by checking patient eligibility.
- Under "Lock-In Information", you will find the insurance enrollment date with the plan sponsor/insurance name.
- To bill, the claim to CAN insurance, use the same policy ID of MISSISSIPPI Medicaid.
- Under "Eligibility Information" on the website, you will find patient plans limited to family planning benefits or not.
- If the patient's plan is limited to family planning benefits then the claim should be written off since billing claims to patients on Medicaid is not allowed.

DeleteFrom Medicaid denied ' RECIPIENT ENROLLED IN MCO- CALL EVS FOR FURTHER INFORMATION ' what does this meaning and what the next step.
ReplyDeleteFind out if patient has any managed care insurance on the date of service by checking eligibility on web portal or IVR. You will find the managed care insurance under "Lock-In Information" as mentioned in the above post. If you find the managed care insurance then submit the claim to that insurance.
