Summary
Indiana Health Coverage Programs is ending the extended 180-day COVID-19 timely filing period for in-network managed care claims. Effective July 15, 2020, the timely filing limit returns to the standard 90 days for in-network managed care providers.
Action Required
By July 15, 2020: Billing team must update claim submission workflows to ensure all in-network managed care claims are submitted within 90 days of service date instead of the temporary 180-day limit. Review and expedite any pending claims with dates of service after July 15, 2020 to avoid timely filing denials.
