NH Healthy Families Coordination of Benefits (COB) Coordination of Benefits Policy Clarification
Date: 08/04/17
NH Healthy Families would like to clarify the Coordination of Benefits policy when NH Healthy Families is the secondary payer.
Primary Insurance* | NH Healthy Families Responsibility |
---|---|
Medicare Part A & Part B Claims Billed on the UB04 | For Part A crossover claims, and for Part B crossover claims billed on the UB-04, NH Healthy Families will pay the patient responsibility amount (deductible and coinsurance) up to the Medicaid allowed amount. |
Medicare Part B Claims Billed on a CMS-1500 | NH Healthy Families will pay the patient responsibility amount (deductible and coinsurance) up to the Medicaid allowed amount. |
Non-Medicare | NH Healthy Families is responsible to pay the difference in primary payment and NH Healthy Families allowable – if the primary payment is greater than the NH Healthy Families allowable, no payment is made. |
* NH Healthy Families secondary coverage is responsible for payment depending on the primary insurance (Medicare vs. non-Medicare)
Please Note: For both Part A and Part B claims, if the patient responsibility amount is “0” then NH Healthy Families will not make a payment.
