Claim Disputes for Participating Providers
Participating providers may submit a Claim Dispute for denied, underpaid, or incorrectly processed claims.
Participating providers may submit a 1st Level Claim Dispute within one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days from the date of the corresponding Remittance Advice. 1st Level Claim Disputes are reviewed by personnel, appropriate to the claim type and issue, different from the personnel that made the initial determination. Claim Disputes submitted past one hundred and twenty (120) days from the date of the corresponding Remittance Advice are considered a late filing and are dismissed.
If the provider is not satisfied with the outcome of the 1st Level Claim Dispute, the provider may file a 2nd Level dispute within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of the corresponding Remittance Advice. 2nd Level Claim Disputes are reviewed by personnel appropriate to the claim type and issue, different from the personnel that made the determination on the 1st Level Claim Dispute. Claim Disputes submitted past thirty (30) days from the date of the corresponding Remittance Advice are considered a late filing and are dismissed.

Claim Disputes submitted online generate a confirmation number for tracking purposes. A Claim Dispute may be Approved, Denied or Dismissed.
A Claim Dispute may be dismissed for the following reasons:
- Insufficient or missing information
- Late filing; i.e., Claim Dispute was filed past 120
- Duplicate; Claim Dispute is a duplicate of a current case
