Autoclosure

Providers that have previously received payment for a particular resident but have recently received claim denials for Edit 2008 should contact the HP Provider Relations Help Desk at (317) 488-5094. Providers should not contact the Division of Aging (DA) directly or send in a new Form 450B.

If the member's level of care (LOC) was discontinued as a result of the discharge status code, the HP Provider Relations Help Desk reviews the claims to determine which claim caused the autoclosure. If an incorrect status code was used, the HP Provider Relations Help Desk advises the provider of any action that should be taken so that the LOC, when deemed appropriate, can be manually restored by HP. To have claims considered for payment, two steps must occur:

  1. The provider must adjust or replace paid claims that indicated an incorrect discharge status code.
  2. The provider must call the HP Provider Relations Help Desk to have the LOC updated.
