6. Updated “Who’s My Provider Relations Representative” Listing
1. Provider Information on Claims Reprocessed for Co-pay changes
CoventryCares of Kentucky has received updated enrollment files from the Department for
Medicaid Services to correct the co-pay eligibility for members who were tied to a co-pay plan
in error. We are reprocessing claims for which provider payment was reduced due to this
error. Future remittance advices will reflect the adjustment.
If a provider has collected a co-pay from a member related to one of these claims, it is the
responsibility of the provider to refund the co-pay back to the member. If you have any
questions, please contact your provider representative.
2. Prior Authorization List
Effective on 9/17/14, CoventryCares of Kentucky will no longer be utilizing DirectProvider as a
reference for procedures or codes that require prior authorization. Please refer to our
CoventryCares of Kentucky website, www.CoventryCaresky.com, for the list or procedures that
require prior authorization.
3. Diabetes Mellitus Category 250 Coding Tips
CoventryCares of Kentucky is committed to ensuring our members receive the best care

primary care when the provider is doing the coding or
is available to document clarification prior to claims
submission.

5. Provider Information on Claims Edit Implementation
The Kentucky Medicaid program requires a provider have a Kentucky Medicaid identification
number to receive payment for services provided to a Kentucky Medicaid enrollee.
Additionally, the Kentucky Department for Medicaid Services (DMS) requires a provider’s1 NPI
and taxonomy for encounters2. DMS uses encounter data for a number of purposes including
determination of enhanced primary care payments under the Affordable Care Act, and
incentive payments for Electronic Health Record providers.
To ensure provider encounter data is accepted by DMS, CoventryCares of Kentucky will be
implementing further provider validation measures. Beginning September 17, 2014,
CoventryCares of Kentucky will validate the billing and rendering provider information as
submitted on the claim against the DMS provider file. Provider information on claims billed to
CoventryCares of Kentucky that is not on file with the DMS and effective on the date of
service will be rejected.
Please ensure that your provider information with which you bill CoventryCares of Kentucky is
also on file with DMS. Should a provider not file timely an Annual Disclosure of Ownership or
other information with DMS, DMS may terminate the Medicaid ID.
Providers may update or validate their NPI, taxonomy(ies) and Medicaid IDs on file with DMS by
