Indiana Medicaid Processes Certain 10/1/13 Retro Claims in Error

Indiana Medicaid’s claims processing contractor, HP, announced on March 31, 2014 that it incorrectly processed Remittance Advices dated April 1, 2014 for retroactive rate adjustments in error.  The error is to be corrected, without facilities having to resubmit claims, by April 7, 2014.  The retroactive adjustments are being made as the new Medicaid Value Based Purchasing Add-on is implemented.  It is IHCA’s understanding that the error only impacted 154 facilities, but that information is not posted on the State’s website.  The State did post the following message on Indianamedicaid.com:

On the Remittance Advices dated April 1, 2014, a retroactive rate adjustment caused accounts receivables (ARs) to be set up in error. This issue has been identified and is being corrected by HP. Although some providers were advised to resubmit the affected claims, it has been determined these claims should NOT be resubmitted. Paid claims are being reprocessed by HP. The reprocessed claims will be reported on the Remittance Advices dated April 7, 2014.
