Medicaid Errors with July 2023 Claims

Some SNF’s are having their July Medicaid claims denied due to patient liability. Savannah Wiley at KAHCF has contacted the Department for Medicaid Services (DMS) and they are aware of the error.

DMS stated that the June renewals that were pushed to July are receiving an error with their patient liability as of 7/1. The patient liability is coded as Global Choices vs Comprehensive, and this is causing the July claims to deny.

If you are having this issue, first contact your local office. If the local office is not able to fix this error, email the following and ask them to fix.DFS.Medicaid@ky.gov
