Effective with the June 8, 2010, checkwrite, the N. C. Medicaid Program will implement an expansion of the NC Electronic Claims Submission/Recipient Eligibility Verification (NCECS) Web Tool to allow providers to download a PDF version of their paper Remittance and Status Report (RA). There will be a transition period during the month of June when the paper RA will continue to be printed and mailed to providers. Beginning with the July 7, 2010, checkwrite, RAs will only be available through the NCECS Web Tool. The NCECS Web Tool will retain ten checkwrite versions of the PDF version of the RA. If a provider needs an RA that is older than ten checkwrites, they will follow the current procedure of requesting a copy through HP Enterprise Services Provider Services and will continue to be assessed a fee.
All providers who wish to be able to download a PDF version of their RA are required to register for this service regardless if they already have an NCECSWeb logon ID. The Remittance and Status Reports in PDF Format Request form and instructions can be found on DMA’s Provider Forms web page. Providers are encouraged to complete the form immediately and return it to the HP Enterprise Services Electronic Commerce Services Unit to ensure adequate time for set up.
As a part of this expansion, there will be some minor changes to the layout of the RA. Some fields that are either duplicated or not used will be removed to allow room to report the HIPAA Claim Adjustment Reason Codes and Remark Codes along with the adjustment amounts. A complete list of changes will be published prior to implementation in a future bulletin article or special bulletin.
