Timely filing limits

One of the things we try and do to make sure we receive maximum reimbursement is to make all of our reference material easily available, and update it often. Like you know, I have been doing this for over 10 years now, and I have a LOT of information in my head. But my head is also significantly slower to update than the insurance companies, so I make sure that I have lists and spreadsheets with anything that will help make follow up easier. What I tell my trainees is that the rules change around here every 10 minutes because we have to constantly update to changes the insurance companies and the AMA are throwing at us.

Recently, we went through and updated all of our timely filing information guidelines for the insurances we deal with most. Here is the list for you guys. If there is anything you want added to the list, just use your Excel or Open Office program and insert those lines. We also included the timely filing limits for appeals, to make this tool actually useful. For those of you using keywords to search, this list includes timely filing information for Blue Cross, Apple Care, Blue Shield, TriCare, Cigna, Health Net, Medicare, Medi-Cal, and a couple dozen others.
