Timely filing of claims with ICD-9 coding

The Nebraska Medicaid claim approval and payment policy (471 NAC 3-002.01) allows for the payment of claims only if “no more than 6 months have elapsed from the date of service when the claim is received by the Department (see 471 NAC 3-002.01A for exceptions)”. To receive payment on claims with ICD-9 coding, providers are reminded that the final six (6) month deadline is approaching. Nebraska Medicaid claims must be submitted within six (6) months from the date of service.
