Section 10 CCR 2505-10-8.049 - RECONSIDERATION/APPEAL OF ADVERSE ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION

A. The fiscal agent is authorized by the Colorado Department of Social Services to recognize and apply all applicable State and Federal rules and regulations to process claims to satisfactory claim payment. Adverse administrative action by the fiscal agent through routine fiscal agent operations which results in the reduction or claim denial to a Medicaid provider may be submitted for reconsideration. Providers shall submit rebills and adjustment requests through routine fiscal agent operations until all routine processing procedures have been exhausted.

B. If satisfactory resolution is not obtained through routine fiscal agent operations, the provider may file a written reconsideration with the fiscal agent's Medicaid Exceptions Unit. The provider must provide documentation essential to review the request for reconsideration. Copies of all Medicaid Remittance Statements (RS) and other written notification of adverse action documenting initial and subsequent timely filing, along with a signed copy of the original claim (including original attachments), and a brief explanation of the nature of the reconsideration must be submitted. The Request for Reconsideration must clearly be identified by attaching a designated Request for Reconsideration form to the claim or by identifying the word "Reconsideration" on the face of the claim form. Requests for reconsideration that do not include a completed claim form will be returned to the provider.

C. Requests for reconsideration will be reviewed and the result of the review will, upon completion, be reported on the Medicaid Remittance Statement.
