Timely Filing Reminder and Changes to Late Bill Override

As of March 1, 2017, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) will no longer use the late bill override date. It is imperative that providers submit claims within the 120-day submission period and every 60 days thereafter, if necessary. The new system, interChange, will then verify the previous claim was submitted within the timely filing guidelines. Timely filing for Colorado Medical Assistance Program claim submission is 120 days from the date of service. Waiting for prior authorization correspondence from the Department or the fiscal agent is not an acceptable reason for late filing. Phone calls or other correspondence are not proof of timely filing. The claim must be submitted, even if the result is a denial or rejection. If the original timely filing period expires, the next submission must be received within 60 days of the last adverse action.
