More Than 90 Days and Subsequent Action
(Rev. 3721, Issued: 02-24-17, Effective: 05-25-17, Implementation: 05-25-17)
The shared system shall create a weekly report for the designated A/B MAC (B)
providing information on claims that have pended for more than 90 days. The designated
A/B MAC (B) shall review the weekly report to identify and deny claim lines for which
the 90 day time period has expired. Before denying the claim lines, the designated A/B
MAC (B) shall determine if the physician claim had been submitted as a paper claim. If
there is an approved physician paper claim for the beneficiary with the same HCPCS
code and a date of service within 7 days of the date of service of the vendor drug claim
posted at CWF and the details are not denied, the designated A/B MAC (B) shall pay the
claim lines. If there is no claim on file that matches these criteria, or some details are
denied, the designated A/B MAC (B) shall deny the corresponding claim lines.
The contractor shall use the following remittance advice messages and associated codes
when rejecting/denying claims under this policy. This CARC/RARC combination is
compliant with CAQH CORE Business Scenario Two.
