Coordination of Benefits Providers are required to fully pursue all third-party coverage before billing Medicaid. Providers must comply with all policies of a beneficiary's insurance coverage including, but not limited to prior authorization (PA), quantity, and days supply limits. Reimbursement will be calculated to pay the lesser of the Medicaid allowed amount or the Other Payer Patient Responsibility as reported by the primary carrier, less than the third-party payment. Medicaid co-payments will also be deducted for beneficiaries subject to Medicaid co-pay. In some cases, this may result in the claim billed to Medicaid being paid at $0.00. Co-pay Only Claims, Other Coverage Code (OCC) = 8 , are not allowed. 14
Early Refills Early refill tolerance periods: 80 percent of the previous fill must be used for all drugs NCPDP Response code for early refill error = 88 For non-controlled drugs, the system will automatically check for an increase in dose and if found, based on the current and historical claims for the same GSN, the system will not deny the current claim for early refill. 15
