Basic Medicaid and NC Health Choice (NCHC) seminars are scheduled for the months of April and May 2012. Seminars are intended to educate providers on the basics of Medicaid and NCHC billing as well as to provide an overview of policy updates, contact information, and fraud, waste and abuse. The focus of the morning session will be the first seven sections of the revised April 2012 Basic Medicaid and NC Health Choice Billing Guide, which is the primary document that will be referenced during the seminar. The afternoon sessions will be broken out by claim type: Professional, Institutional, and Dental /Pharmacy. The remaining sections of the April 2012 Billing Guide will be reviewed during these breakout sessions focusing on claims submission, resolving denied claims, and the uses of N.C. Electronic Claims Submission/Recipient Eligibility Verification Web Tool.
Providers are encouraged to print the Billing Guide. This material will assist providers in following along with the presenters. If preferred, you may download the Billing Guide to a laptop and bring the laptop to the seminar. Or, you may access the Billing Guide online using your laptop during the seminar. However, HP Enterprise Services cannot guarantee a power source or Internet access for your laptop. Copies of these documents will not be provided.
Pre-registration is required for both the morning session and the afternoon session of your choice. Due to limited seating, registration is limited to two staff members per office. Unregistered providers are welcome to attend, if space is available. Please bring your seminar confirmation with you to the morning and afternoon sessions of the seminar.
