Medical Billing in North Carolina: What Providers Need to Know
The North Carolina Healthcare Billing Environment consists of Original Medicare, Medicare Advantage, Commercial Insurance, NC Medicaid Direct and Medicaid Managed Care. There can be distinct rules for each type regarding how the claim can be submitted, how the authorization process is handled, the documentation needed and how the claims appeals process works. It is important to choose the right pathway and meet its requirements in order to avoid unnecessary issues.
Medicaid uses NCTracks as a tool for the enrollment of providers and processing of claims; it usually is mandatory to submit claims electronically, but there may be exceptions from that rule. For Medicaid Managed Care providers, there are additional requirements which depend on the relevant health plan. According to NC Medicaid, most claims should arrive within 365 days from the date of the related service, however, there are special rules for Inpatient and Nursing Facility claims.

Where North Carolina Practices Can Lose Revenue
Losses in revenue begin with smaller errors that do not get resolved. The claims are processed to the incorrect Medicaid health plan; they are denied due to missing information; or there may be inadequate payments, which will not get checked against the expected reimbursement. In such cases, practices may face an increase in their account receivables along with more efforts to correct the claims.
