Providers required to use self-service options on NaviNet®

October 30, 2015

[

Over the past several years, Independence has instituted a number of provider self-service requirements under which providers must use the NaviNet web portal to obtain certain information. All participating providers, facilities, Magellan-contracted providers, and billing agencies that support provider organizations are required to use self-service options for the following:

  • Eligibility and claims status information. All participating providers and facilities are required to use NaviNet to verify member eligibility and obtain Independence claims status information. The claim detail provided through NaviNet includes specific information, such as check date, check number, service codes, paid amount, and member responsibility.
  • Claim adjustments. All participating providers and facilities must submit claim adjustment requests using the Claim Investigation Inquiry transaction on NaviNet. Providers must supply the necessary information to support an adjustment request. For example, if a provider is requesting a claim adjustment related to the payment amount, the provider must supply the member's benefit product for the date of service at issue and the relevant terms in the provider's contract in order for a review and adjustment consideration to occur.
  • Authorizations.* All participating providers and facilities must use NaviNet to initiate the following authorization types:
    • –medical/surgical procedures
    • –chemotherapy/infusion therapy
    • –durable medical equipment
    • –emergency hospital admission notification
    • –home health (dietitian, home health aide, occupational therapy, physical therapy, skilled nursing, social work, speech therapy)
    • –home infusion
Any provider who contacts Provider Services to obtain eligibility and claims status information, question a claim payment, submit a claim adjustment, or request an authorization will be directed to use the self-service options on NaviNet.
