Title 55--PUBLIC WELFARE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WELFARE [55 PA. CODE CH. 1101] [33 Pa.B. 361] [Correction]
Invoicing for Services An error occurred in the preamble to the document which appeared at 32 Pa.B. 6364 (December 28, 2002).
The correct version of the fifth paragraph of the preamble is as follows:
Under the 180-day rule, an MA provider must submit a correct original invoice to be received by the Department within 180 days of the date the provider renders service to an eligible MA recipient. If a provider other than a long-term care provider submits an invoice within the 180-day time frame, but the invoice is pended or is rejected by the Department as incorrectly completed, the provider may resubmit the claim or submit a corrected claim so long as the resubmission is received by the Department within 365 days of the date of service. See § 1101.68(b)(3). The current regulation gives long-term care providers less time than other providers to submit a ''clean claim.'' Section 1101.68 specifies that a long-term care provider must submit its original invoice and any resubmissions to be received by the Department within 180 days of the last day of the month in which service was provided.
