This article serves as a reminder of the Medicaid program's responsibility for effective management of funds as stated in NCGS 147-86.10 and the impact of this legislation on the provider community.
Effective October 1, 1999, the Medicaid program implemented the legislation enacted by NCGS 147-86.10. The legislation requires state agencies to devise techniques and procedures for the receipt, deposit, and disbursement of moneys coming into their control and custody, which are designed to maximize interest-bearing investment of cash, and to minimize idle and nonproductive cash balances.
As a result of this legislation, all balances due to the Medicaid program NOT returned or paid within 30 days will automatically be assessed a one-time 10 percent penalty and interest on an accumulative basis. The assessed interest rate is based on the variable rate set by the N.C. Department of Revenue (NC DOR). The current interest rate is 8 percent. To ensure compliance with any changes made by the NC DOR, the interest rate will be updated.
The following list summarizes the primary changes initiated as a result of NCGS 147-86.10. Special Bulletin V issued in October 1999 provides additional details and examples of these processing changes.

Letter and Report Summary to All Providers from Secretary H. David Bruton 3
A study was recently conducted evaluating the prescription expenditures in North Carolina's Medicaid program. Three continuous years of data from July 1, 1997 through June 30, 2000 were analyzed to identify the factors contributing to the rapidly rising prescription expenditures. In 1998, Medicaid prescription costs totaled $461 million which increased to $748 million in 2000 - a 62% increase. The factors that were evaluated in the study included the number of people enrolled in Medicaid during the year, the length of enrollment, the number of prescriptions written, the costs of the medications, and physicians' prescribing patterns.
Compared to 1998, 2.3% (27,543) more people were served by the Medicaid program in 2000, and the average length of enrollment increased by 5.5% (0.5 months) to 9.6 months. These factors accounted for 14% of the increase in prescription expenditures. In 1998, a patient enrolled in Medicaid for the entire year filled an average of 13.0 prescriptions. This increased to an average of 15.5 prescriptions filled in 2000. This could suggest the physicians were prescribing more frequently. This change accounted for 36% of the increase in prescription expenditures from 1998 to 2000. The total number of patient visits and complexity of visits were measured to potentially explain the apparent rise in prescribing, but the levels remained unchanged or decreased.
The costs of the medications increased during this period. The average price per dose for the twenty drugs with the greatest expenditures increased by about 4.2% annually, or just slightly above the rate of inflation. However, the average cost per prescription increased by 27% from $39 in 1998 to $49 per prescription in 2000. This phenomenon reflects the change in prescribing patterns to favor more expensive drugs (Table 1). For example, the number of tablets dispensed of H2-blockers (i.e. Zantac and Pepcid) is decreasing while the number of tablets dispensed of proton pump inhibitors (i.e. Prilosec and Prevacid) is increasing. This finding would suggest that physicians are more frequently prescribing proton pump inhibitors as first line therapy. In another example, the selective cyclo-oxygenase-2 inhibitors (i.e. Celebrex and Vioxx) introduced in 1999 have become among the most frequently prescribed medications in 2000. This change in prescribing patterns accounted for 50% ($143 million) of the increase in prescription expenditures. The more expensive medications are often more effective; some have been shown to reduce physician visits and hospitalizations and to improve patients' quality of life. The key factor in this, however, is that the correct medication needs to be prescribed for the right person.
The North Carolina Medicaid program has an open formulary, like
all states, as required by the 1990 OBRA legislation. However, North Carolina's
program does not restrict its formulary by using strategies such as prior authorization
or therapeutic interchange, that are utilized by other states. The manner in
which this state's Medicaid prescription program is conducted reflects the state's
trust that physicians prescribe appropriately and judiciously. If prescription
expenditures continue to increase, the state may need to implement strategies
to control costs, which may interfere with physicians' autonomy. Physicians
can potentially avoid this by prescribing appropriately and judiciously.

The Division of Medical Assistance (DMA) is now requiring DEA numbers on all recipient pharmacy claims instead of UPIN numbers. Providers must have their DEA registration number on file. Failure to do so may result in denied claims. If a prescriber does not have a DEA number and needs to issue prescriptions to recipients served by the Medicaid program, the prescriber should contact the DUR Section at 919-733-3590.
An identification number (ID) will be issued in lieu of the DEA number. The ID number, following the same format as the DEA number, will always begin with a Z (for example, ZF1234567). Prescribers will need to enter this number on their Medicaid prescriptions. This number is referred to as a MEDICAID IDENTIFICATION NUMBER only and should not be referred to as a DEA number.
If EDS Provider Enrollment does not have your updated information, please copy, complete, and return the DEA Number form for each prescriber in your practice. Please send the information to the following address:

Alert - Tax Update Requested
North Carolina Medicaid must have the proper tax information for all providers.
This ensures correct issuance of 1099 MISC forms each year and that the correct
tax information is provided to the IRS. Inappropriate information on file can
result in the IRS withholding 31% of a provider's Medicaid payments. Be sure
the individual responsible for maintenance of tax information receives the following
information.
How to Verify Tax Information
The last page of the Medicaid Remittance and Status Advice (RA) indicates the
provider tax name and number that Medicaid has on file. Refer to the Medicaid
RA throughout the year for each provider number to ensure Medicaid has the correct
tax information on file. The tax information needed for a group practice is
as follows: (1) Group tax name and group tax number (2) Attending Medicaid provider
numbers in the group. If a Medicaid RA is needed, call EDS Provider Services
919-851-8888 or 1-800-688-6696 to verify the tax information on file for each
provider number.
Providers should complete a Special W-9 (see next page) for all provider numbers with incorrect information on file. Instructions for completing the Special W-9 are listed below.

Change of Ownership
Contact DMA Provider Services at 919-857-4017 to report all changes in business
ownership. If necessary, a new Medicaid provider number will be assigned and
Provider Services will ensure the correct tax information is on file for Medicaid
payments.
If DMA is not contacted and the incorrect provider number is used, that provider will be liable for taxes on income not necessarily received by the provider's business. DMA will assume no responsibility for penalties assessed by the IRS or for misrouted payments prior to written receipt of notification of ownership changes.
Group Practice Changes
When a physician leaves or a physician is added to a group practice, contact
DMA Provider Services to update Medicaid enrollment and tax information.
Remember, without notifying DMA Provider Services, the incorrect tax information could remain on file and your business could become liable for taxes on Medicaid payments you did not receive.

Distribution of PCV7 (7-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide-protein conjugate vaccine, CPT code 90669) began on November 1, 2000 through the Universal Childhood Vaccine Distribution Program (UCVDP). PCV7 is available for all Medicaid-eligible children aged 0 through 59 months through the Vaccines for Children Program (VFC). Effective with dates of service November 1, 2000, the N.C. Medicaid program will reimburse providers for the administration fee (W8012) when billing criteria is met (see Billing Information below).
Prevnar is the brand name for PCV7 and is marketed by Wyeth Lederle Vaccines. Currently, it is the only pneumococcal polysaccharide-protein conjugate vaccine available.
Please see the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) Statement, released October 6, 2000, regarding usage and dosage recommendations. The document can be found on the Internet at www.cdc.gov/nip.
Billing Information
Providers must report PCV7 (CPT code 90669) when billing the vaccine administration
fee (W8012). CPT code 90669 must be listed with the appropriate modifiers. Health
departments may not bill an administration fee (W8012) if the vaccine is given
on the same day as a Health Check screening. Private physicians may bill an
administration fee (W8012) on any day a vaccine is administered, even if it
is given on the same day as a Health Check screening.

First Health of Tennessee (FH) performs utilization reviews of inpatient services in all psychiatric hospitals and in specified general hospitals for individuals under the age of 21, and through 64 years of age in psychiatric units of specified general hospitals. This includes preadmission and concurrent review. As a result of this review, either additional days are certified because the information is completed and the client meets criteria for continued stay, or the case is referred for a physician consultation due to insufficient information to justify the stay.
At this time, FH arranges a "peer-to-peer" telephone conference between the consulting physician and the attending physician to discuss the case and to obtain more information. Reasonable attempts (two phone calls) by FH to contact the attending physician within a 24-hour period will be made.
Should the facility wish to set up a peer-to-peer review, the facility representative will provide the FH reviewer with the phone number of the client's physician. The FH customer service representative for North Carolina will then schedule a time for the completion of the peer-to-peer review. The Division of Medical Assistance requests all participants to follow through with the peer-to-peer review within a 72-hour time frame. The physician should designate a back-up to participate in the review in the event that they are unable to participate. If a conference is scheduled and it is subsequently decided that the conference is not needed, please call and cancel.
Failure of the client's physician to keep the appointment for the peer-to-peer
consultation results in denial of continued stay for the client. This denial
is an administrative or technical denial and there is no appeal process for
the client.

The Division of Medical Assistance (DMA) is upgrading and enhancing the Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS). The goals of the renovation, as noted in the April, 2000 Bulletin, are:
Changes to the following parts are detailed in the Provider Impact section of this article.
Part I - Remittance and Status Advice
Part II - Adjustment Requests - NEW FORM
Part III - Prior Approval (PA)
Part IV - Automated Voice Response (AVR) System and Eligibility Verification
System (EVS)
Implementation Schedule
Updated Implementation Date: The implementation of system changes for the ITME project has been extended to February 9, 2001. The revised date of February 9, 2001 supercedes the original implementation date reflected in the September and October, 2000 ITME bulletin articles. Please note that all references to effective dates in the remainder of this article have been revised to reflect the extended date of February 9, 2001.
The RA will reflect the changes noted in Part I beginning February 9, 2001. Part II reflects the new N.C. Medicaid adjustment form. Use of this form is required as of February 9, 2001. Part III provides new instructions for submitting services that have been prior approved. Part IV addresses changes to the AVR System and EVS resulting from this enhancement.
Provider Impact
Part I: Remittance and Status Advice (RA) - See Example 1
RA modifications/format changes will be kept to only those that are necessary in conjunction with the ITME project. Overall, the RA will look very similar to the current format. Please note the format changes on the RA sample following this article (Example 1).
Addition of Financial Payer Code
A financial payer code follows the claim internal control number (ICN) in the
first line of the claim data reflected on the RA. This financial payer code
denotes the entity responsible for payment of the claims listed on the RA. Upon
implementation, N.C. Medicaid will be the only financially responsible payer;
therefore, the N.C. Medicaid payer code of NCXIX (five characters) will be reflected.
Addition of Population Group Payer Code
The RA reflects the population payer code for each claim detail. The population
payer code is printed at the beginning of each claim detail line on the RA.
The population payer code denotes the special program/population group from
which a recipient is receiving Medicaid benefits. Examples of population payer
codes are as follows:
| Code | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| CA-I | Carolina ACCESS | All recipients enrolled in Medicaid's Carolina ACCESS program |
| CA-II | ACCESS II | All recipients enrolled in Medicaid's ACCESS II program |
| CAB | ACCESS III - Cabarrus County | All recipients enrolled in Medicaid's ACCESS III program for Cabarrus County |
| PITT | ACCESS III - Pitt County | All recipients enrolled in Medicaid's ACCESS III program for Pitt County |
| HMOM | Health Management Organization (HMO) | All recipients enrolled in Medicaid's HMO program |
| NCXIX | Medicaid | All recipients not enrolled in any of the above noted population payer programs. Any recipient not identified with Carolina ACCESS, ACCESS II, ACCESS III, or HMO will be assigned the NCXIX population payer code to identify them with the Medicaid fee-for-service program. |
Other population payers may be designated by DMA in the future.
Addition of new totals following the current claim total line
An additional line is added following each claim total line of the paid and
denied claim sections of the RA for the following claim types: Medical (J),
Dental (K), Home Health, Hospice and Personal Care (Q), Medical Vendor (P),
Outpatient (M), and Professional Crossover (O). This additional line reflects
original claim billed amount, original claim detail count, and total number
of financial payers. Upon implementation February, 2001, N.C. Medicaid will
be the only financial payer; these new totals will reflect the submitted claim
totals.
These additional totals do not appear for claim types Drug (D), Inpatient (S), Nursing Home (T), and Medicare Crossover (W) since they are not processed at the claim detail level and will not have multiple financial payers assigned, based on current N.C. Medicaid billing policy.
Addition of a new summary page at end of RA
For each Medicaid population payer identified on the paper RA, a new summary
page showing total payments by population payer is provided at the end of the
RA. This provides population payer detail information for tracking and informational
purposes.
New specifications for Tape RA
Updated specifications have been mailed to all Tape RA Providers. If you are
currently receiving a Tape RA and have not received the updated specifications,
or have questions regarding the changes, please contact Glenda Raynor, Manager
of EDS Electronic Commerce Services, at 919-851-8888 extension 5-3099.
Part II: Adjustment Requests - NEW FORM (Example 2)
The N.C. Medicaid program will begin using a new RA format in February 2001. This new format affects the way adjustment request forms are completed by the provider and processed by EDS. The appropriate "financial payer" information found on the new RA will be required on all adjustment request forms after February 9, 2001. DMA and EDS have implemented a new adjustment request form to help with these changes. One of the predominant changes is in the "claim number" field. This area is now identified with twenty boxes, each box for one number of the referenced claim number. Until February 9, 2001, there will be five empty boxes at the end of the claim number. After the February 9, 2001 implementation of the MMIS enhancements, these spaces will be used for the financial payer code information. Providers may begin using this new adjustment request form now if it facilitates implementing these changes. (Refer to example of claim field below.) Please contact EDS Provider Services with questions about the new format and processing of an adjustment request. Claim # field on Adjustment form from RA prior to February 9, 2001:
|
Claim #:
|
# | # | # | # | # | # | # | # | # | # | # | # | # | # | # |
| Claim #: | # | # | # | # | # | # | # | # | # | # | # | # | # | # | # | N | C | X | I | X |
Effective February 9, 2001, entering the prior approval number on the claim form by the provider to receive payment for services rendered will no longer be required. This holds true for all prior approved Medicaid services, regardless of the entity giving the prior approval.
Prior approval requirements and the criteria for approval of services have not changed. Those services that previously required prior approval before the implementation of the enhanced MMIS will continue to require prior approval. If a service was approved prior to February 9, 2001 but was not provided or billed until after February 9, 2001, the original prior approval is still valid. The MMIS will verify that prior approval was obtained before claims payment can occur. If the services being submitted on the claim form require prior approval, and approval has not been obtained, that claim will be denied. The only change is that the input of the prior approval number is no longer required on the claim form by the provider as of February 9, 2001.
Part IV: Automated Voice Response (AVR) System and Eligibility Verification System (EVS)
These systems will be enhanced with new messages that will explain under which special Medicaid program or programs a recipient is enrolled as a participant. Additional information regarding these system enhancements will be provided in subsequent bulletin articles.
EDS, 1-800-688-6696 or 919-851-8888
