Please provide complete information for items such as the name, date of birth, and gender. Verify that this information matches the HSCSN enrollee’s ID card. Always confirm the correct spelling of the first and last name of the HSCSN enrollee. Errors and omissions of these items cause an unnecessary delay in processing the claim.
Please provide complete information regarding the provider, including the names of both the treating provider and the billing entity. The taxpayer identification number for the billing entity must be given for the claim to be processed correctly. The billing or remittance address must be accurate for the check and/or voucher to be sent to the correct payee.
The treating provider must sign the claim form to verify that the services performed by the provider are accurately reflected in the services reported. The provider is legally responsible for the contents of the claim once the claim form is signed. Do not give a signed claim form to the HSCSN enrollee or designee to complete.
If the HSCSN enrollee has more than one diagnosis, please be sure to report all relevant diagnoses on the claim. For the diagnosis code, include all the required digits.
For individual services on different dates, such as office visits, services must be billed on separate claim lines. We cannot accept dates of service combined under “from” and “through” dates. Each date of service must be shown separately. For spanning services, such as DME rentals, it is permissible to use “from” and “through” date fields for consecutive dates, such as: FROM THROUGH #DAYS/UNITS 9/1/19 - 9/2/19.
