Is there a method to submit late claims paid during a prior submission period?
Yes there is; however, we want to limit these types of submissions to a minimum as it complicates transferring data to the state. Basically, if a carrier identifies a block of data that should have been included in a monthly paid data submission that already has been accepted but for one reason or another was omitted, then we will issue a temporary submitter code with a new suffix to that carrier. The carrier will use this temporary code to submit the previously paid data; we have a process in place that, once this special data submission has been accepted, ensures the data will be migrated to the proper submitter code. If a carrier’s original submitted file has yet to be accepted, then the carrier will be asked to resubmit both the data from the original data submission and any new data identified in one file.
