How do I adjudicate 1927 drugs?
Medicaid Billing for Non-Covered Part D Drugs for Dual Eligibles
1)
First, bill
the part D plan. If the drug is not covered, the claim will be rejected by the
plan.
2) If the rejection code is Y701, the drug is covered by Medicaid for
dual eligibles.
3) Bill Medicaid using the TPL (Third Party Liability) billing.
4) Using the TPL billing, enter the date the claim was denied in the
other payor date.
5) If unable to locate this field, you may have to contact your software
vendor. Tell him the NCPDP
field you need is “E8”, the field for other payor.
FYI
according to Pam Ford: Coverage by Medicaid on drugs not covered by Part D for
dual-eligible patients will be the same as under the Medicaid program. For
example, if a drug has a days limit, such as Xanax XR, that is what is allowed
on the non-covered Part D drug.
