Magellan Medicaid Administration’s Call Center
Magellan Medicaid Administration has both a Pharmacy Support Center and Web Support Call
Center to assist pharmacies, prescribers, and members.
Section 13.0 – Appendix E – Directory/Addresses at the end of this manual lists their phone numbers
along with their hours of operation.
3.1
Pharmacy Support Center
800-922-3987 (Nationwide Toll-Free Number)
Magellan Medicaid Administration provides a toll-free number for pharmacies available 7 days a
week, 24 hours a day, and 365 days a year. The Pharmacy Support Center responds to questions on
coverage, claims processing, and client eligibility.
Examples of issues addressed by the Pharmacy Support Center staff include, but are not
limited to, the following:


Questions on Claims Processing Messages – If a pharmacy needs assistance with alert or
denial messages, it is important to contact the Pharmacy Support Center at the time of
dispensing drugs. Magellan Medicaid Administration’s staff is able to provide claim
information on all error messages, including messaging from the ProDUR system.
Clinical Issues – The Pharmacy Support Center is not intended to be used as a clinical
consulting service and cannot replace or supplement the professional judgment of the
dispensing pharmacist. However, a second level of assistance is available if a pharmacist’s
question requires a clinical response. To address these situations, IDHW has a Pharmacy Call
Center that will provide assistance with initiating clinical prior authorizations. The call center
hours are Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m., MT. Effective January 22, 2010, the IDHW call
center is closed every other Friday at 12:00 p.m., MT. This schedule was in effect until June
2010.

The POS system is used in conjunction with a pharmacy’s in-house operating system. While there
are a variety of different pharmacy operating systems, the information contained in this manual
specifies only the response messages related to the interactions with the Magellan Medicaid
Administration online system and not the technical operation of a pharmacy’s in-house-specific
system. Pharmacies should check with their software vendors to ensure their system is able to
process as per the payer specifications listed in Section 9.0 – Appendix A – Payer Specifications of
this manual.

4.2.1
Supported POS Transaction Types
Magellan Medicaid Administration has implemented the following NCPDP Version D.0 transaction
types. A pharmacy’s ability to use these transaction types depends on its software. At a minimum,
pharmacies should have the capability to submit original claims (B1), reversals (B2), and re-bills
(B3). Other transactions listed in Table 4.2.1.1 – NCPDP Version D.0 Transaction Types Supported
are also supported.
Original Claims Adjudication (B1) – This transaction captures and processes the claim and
returns the dollar amount allowed under the program’s reimbursement formula. The B1
transaction will be the prevalent transaction used by pharmacies.

Claims Reversal (B2) – This transaction is used by a pharmacy to cancel a claim that was
previously processed. To submit a reversal, a pharmacy must void a claim that has received a
PAID status and select the REVERSAL (Void) option in its computer system.

Claims Re-Bill (B3) – This transaction is used by the pharmacy to adjust and resubmit a
claim that has received a PAID status. A “claim re-bill” voids the original claim and resubmits
the claim within a single transaction. The B3 claim is identical in format to the B1 claim with
the only difference being that the transaction code (Field # 1Ø3) is equal to B3.

The following fields must match the original paid claim for a successful transmission of a B2
(Reversal) or B3 (Re-bill):

Online Certification
The Software Vendor/Certification Number (NCPDP Field # 11Ø-AK) of the Transaction Header
Segment is required for claims submission under NCPDP Version D.0; providers should submit the
value that is assigned to them when being certified.
Magellan Medicaid Administration certifies software vendors, not an individual pharmacy’s
computer system. A pharmacy should contact its vendor or Magellan Medicaid Administration to
determine if the required certification has been obtained. For assistance with software vendor
certification, contact Magellan Medicaid Administration. Refer to Section 13.0 – Appendix E –
Directory/Addresses at the end of this manual for other contact information.
5.2
Solving Technical Problems
Pharmacies receive one of the following messages when the Magellan Medicaid Administration
POS system is unavailable:
Table 5.2.1 – Host System Problem Messages and Explanations
NCPDP
Message
Explanation
90
Host Hung Up
Host disconnected before session completed.
93
Planned Unavailable
Transmission occurred during scheduled downtime.
Scheduled downtime for file maintenance is Saturday,
9:00 p.m., MT–Sunday, 4:00 a.m., MT.
92
99
System Unavailable/Host Unavailable
Host Processing Error
Processing host did not accept transaction or did not
respond within time out period.
Do not retransmit claims.
Magellan Medicaid Administration strongly recommends that a pharmacy’s software has the
capability to submit backdated claims. Occasionally, a pharmacy may also receive messages that
indicate its own network is having problems communicating with Magellan Medicaid
Administration. If this occurs, or if a pharmacy is experiencing technical difficulties connecting
with the Magellan Medicaid Administration system, pharmacies should follow the steps outlined
below:
1. Check the terminal and communication equipment to ensure that electrical power and
telephone services are operational.
2. Call the telephone number that the modem is dialing and note the information heard (i.e.,
fast busy, steady busy, recorded message).
3. Contact the software vendor if unable to access this information in the system.
Page 20
Magellan Medicaid Administration
State of Idaho Medicaid Pharmacy Claims Submission Manual
4. If the pharmacy has an internal technical staff, forward the problem to that department,
then the internal technical staff should contact Magellan Medicaid Administration to resolve
the problem.
5. If unable to resolve the problem after following the steps outlined above, directly contact
the Magellan Medicaid Administration Pharmacy Support Center. Refer to Section 13.0 –
Appendix E – Directory/Addresses at the end of this manual for contact information.

Online Claims Processing Edits
6.1
Paid, Denied, and Rejected Responses
After an online claims submission is made by a pharmacy, the POS system returns a message to
indicate the outcome of the processing. If the claim passes all edits, a PAID message is returned
with the allowed reimbursement amount. A claim that fails an edit and is REJECTED (or DENIED)
also returns with an NCPDP rejection code and message. Refer to Section 12.0 – Appendix D – POS
Reject Codes and Messages for a list of POS rejection codes and messages.
6.2
Duplicate Response
A duplicate disposition occurs when there is an attempt to submit a claim that has already gone
through the adjudication process with either some or all of the previous claims information. An
exact match on the following fields results in a duplicate disposition:






Same Patient/Client
Same Service Provider ID
Same Date of Service
Same Product/Service ID
Same Prescription/Service Reference Number
Fill Number
In situations where there are matches on some of the above data elements, Magellan Medicaid
Administration returns an NCPDP Error Code # 83 – Duplicate Paid Claim to indicate a possible
suspected duplicate.
There are situations where the provider sends the transaction request and Magellan Medicaid
Administration receives the request and processes the transaction. Then, due to communication
problems or interruptions, the response is not received by the provider. In these cases, the
provider should resubmit the transaction request. Magellan Medicaid Administration responds
with the same information as the first response, but the transaction response is marked as
duplicate.

Timely Filing Limits
Most pharmacies that utilize the POS system submit their claims at the time of dispensing the
drugs. However, there may be mitigating reasons that require a claim to be submitted
retroactively. For all original claims and adjustments, the timely filing limit is 366 days from the
date of service (DOS). For reversals, the filing limit is unlimited. Claims that exceed the timely
filing limit deny. Requests to override timely filing must be submitted on paper claims with
the ICN of the original denied claim for consideration of payment.
7.1.1
Date Rx Written to Date of Service Edits
Claims that exceed the maximum Date Rx Written to Date of Service limit as indicated in Table

Payment Error Rate Measurement (PERM)
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) implemented the PERM program to measure
improper payments in the Medicaid and the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP).
PERM is designed to comply with the Improper Payments Information Act of 2002 (IPIA; Public
Law No. 107-300). For PERM, CMS is using contractors to perform statistical calculations, medical
records collection, and medical data processing review of Medicaid and SCHIP fee-for-service (FFS)
claims.
Medical records are needed to support medical reviews that the CMS review contractor conducts
on the Medicaid and SCHIP FFS claims to determine whether the claims were correctly paid. It is
important that providers cooperate by submitting all requested documentation within the
designated timeframe. Failure to provide the requested documentation is in violation of Idaho
Code Section 56-209h and the Idaho Medicaid Provider Agreement.
•
Confidential and Proprietary
Providers are required to notify the Department of any changes,
including, but not limited to, its mailing address, service locations, and
phone number, within 30 days of the date of the change. All providers
should check the system to ensure their phone numbers and addresses
are correct in the Idaho Medicaid provider file. If not, please request a
change immediately to ensure the PERM medical record request can be
delivered to the correct address. See Section 2.1 –Enrolling as an IDHW
Pharmacy for more information.

Coordination of Benefits (COB)
Coordination of benefits is the mechanism used to designate the order in which multiple carriers
are responsible for benefit payments, and thus, prevention of duplicate payments.
Third-party liability (TPL) refers to
An insurance plan or carrier;

A program; and

A commercial carrier.

The plan or carrier can be
An individual;

A group;

Employer-related;

Self-insured; and

A self-funded plan.

The program can be Medicare, which has liability for all or part of a client’s medical or pharmacy
coverage.
The terms third-party liability and other insurance are used interchangeably to mean any source
other than Medicaid that has a financial obligation for health care coverage.
8.1
COB General Instructions
8.1.1
COB Process
All third-party resources (TPRs) available to a Medicaid client must be utilized for all or part of
their medical costs before billing to Medicaid. TPRs are any individual, entity, or program that is or
may be contractually or legally liable to pay all or part of the cost of any medical services furnished
to a client. The provider shall resolve all TPRs before Medicaid can consider paying a claim, even
when Medicaid prior authorization has been given. The Department may deny payment of a
provider’s claims if the provider fails to apply third-party payments to medical bills, to file
necessary claims, or to cooperate in matters necessary to secure payment by insurance or other
liable third parties. Providers must comply with all policies of a patient’s insurance coverage,
including, but not limited to, prior authorization, quantity, and days’ supply limits. Magellan
Medicaid Administration assists IDHW in monitoring this process for compliance on all claims.
Idaho Medicaid is always the payer of last resort. Providers must bill all other payers first and then
bill Idaho Medicaid. This requirement also applies to compounds.
Confidential and Proprietary
Page 32
State of Idaho Medicaid Pharmacy Claims Submission Manual
Magellan Medicaid Administration supports the use of the COB segment as per the NCPDP version
D.0 claim transaction. When COB is not received, a NCPDP Error Code # 41 (Submit Bill to Primary
Payer) with Other Payer Name in Additional Message field will be returned.
When COB is received, reimbursement is calculated to pay up to the Medicaid allowed amount less
the third-party payment. Medicaid co-payments are also deducted for participants subject to
Medicaid co-pay. In some cases, this may result in the claim billed to Medicaid being paid at $0.00.
8.1.1.1 COB Denial Edits





Claims will deny when the participant has TPL coverage on the eligibility file and the claim is
received with no COB segment or Other Coverage Code (OCC).
Claims will deny when a COB segment was received with OCC = “2” and the Other Payer
Amount = $0.
Claims will deny when a COB segment was received with OCC = “2” and the Other Payer Patient Responsibility Amount is not submitted on the claim.
Claims will deny when a COB segment is received with OCC = “8.”
Claims will deny when the Participant has TPL coverage and a COB segment was received
with any of the following conditions:



OCC = “3,” “4,” “5,” “6,” or “7” and the Other Payer Amount > $0.
OCC = “3” requires the submission of Approved Payer Reject Codes and Count.
OCC = “0,” “1,” or “8.”
8.1.1.2 COB Approval Edits
If the Pharmacy submits a claim with a valid COB segment for a Participant who has TPL coverage,
Magellan Medicaid Administration will adjudicate the claim as follows:



When OCC = “2” and the Other Payer Paid amount > $0 and the Other Payer - Patient
Responsibility Amount is submitted, the claim is approved for the payment and the net
amount to be paid will be the lesser of the Medicaid allowable less other payer payment
amount or the Other Payer – Patient Responsibility Amount.
When Other Coverage Code, (NCPDP Field # 3Ø8-C8) = “3” or “4” Other Payer Paid amount =
$0 and valid Other Payer ID is submitted, the claim is approved for payment and the net
amount to be paid will be the ID DHW Medicaid allowable.
OCC = “3” will require submission of approved Other Payer Reject Codes and Count.
Table 8.1.1.2.1 – TPL Codes displays values and claim dispositions based on pharmacist submission
of the standard NCPDP TPL codes. Where applicable, it has been noted which Other Coverage Code
(NCPDP Field # 3Ø8-C8) should be used based on the error codes received from the primary.

ProDUR Problem Types
ProDUR encompasses the detection, evaluation, and counseling components of pre-dispensing
drug therapy screening. The ProDUR system of Magellan Medicaid Administration assists in these
functions by addressing situations in which potential drug problems may exist. ProDUR performed
prior to dispensing assists the pharmacists to ensure that their patients receive the appropriate
medications.
Because the Magellan Medicaid Administration ProDUR system examines claims from all
participating pharmacies, drugs that interact or are affected by previously dispensed medications
can be detected. Magellan Medicaid Administration recognizes that the pharmacists use their
education and professional judgments in all aspects of dispensing. ProDUR is offered as an
informational tool to aid the pharmacists in performing their professional duties.
Listed below are all the ProDUR Conflict Codes within Magellan Medicaid Administration system
for the IDHW Medicaid program.
