Detailed Overview

How Prime Health Supports Compliance

Select any section below to expand the details and make the content easier to scan.

Prime Health Services maintains a Compliance Department to help ensure both Prime Health and its clients remain in compliance with each state’s ever-changing laws, rules, regulations, and court decisions.

Most state legislatures meet from January through May each year, which is often when decisions are made regarding existing law and new or proposed laws. Some states, such as Texas, hold legislatures every other year, which can increase the influence of commissioners who may change state regulations more quickly.

One of the primary goals of the Compliance Department is to keep Prime Health and its clients well informed of decisions made by state legislatures and commissioners.

Another key role is managing state certifications and filings. Some states have adopted legislation governing provider networks or managed care organizations in an effort to control workers’ compensation costs.

Each state’s network and MCO regulations are different. Because of this, Prime Health’s state offerings and certifications vary from state to state.

Similarly, many states that require network or MCO certifications also require frequent updates or filings with their regulatory departments, making state-specific compliance a continuous responsibility.

Required filings may occur annually, bi-annual, or even quarterly, and Prime Health’s Compliance Department works to keep the company and its clients informed and compliant within those timeframes.

Continuous evaluation of the regulations that govern state certifications and filings helps Prime Health and its clients offer current, progressive services and products while remaining aligned with local, state, and federal requirements.

Notices and Updates

No Surprises Act

Based on the disclosures required of group health plans and health insurance issuers in the No Surprises Act, Prime Health will provide the in-network providers’ negotiated rates.

Providing these deliverables allows transparency within tasks being asked of our clients and our clients’ clients.

At Prime Health, our provider contracts are evergreen and we can track when a provider (NPI) status is disabled or a contract (TIN) is termed. We also track dates on contracts and discounts when they are added/changed.

Prime Health uses commercially reasonable efforts to maintain accurate provider directories, which are regularly updated and verified at least every 90 days. Prime Health will respond, within one business day, to individuals who inquire about the network status of a provider or facility.

To aid in this initiative, with the use of technology, Prime Health is working with industry leaders in the provider data collection and verification space.

Attention New York Health Care Providers: CMS-1500 Updates

Beginning July 1, 2022, health care providers will need to:

• Submit the CMS-1500 form. Electronic submission through an XML submission partner is strongly encouraged, though not required. When mandatory submission of the CMS-1500 form begins, use of current medical billing/reports including Doctor’s Initial Report (Form C-4) and Doctor’s Progress Report (Form C-4.2) will be discontinued.

• Prominently report the injured worker’s temporary impairment percentage, work status and the causal relationship of the injury at the top of the CMS-1500 form medical narrative.

Between now and July 1, 2022 health care providers are urged to review their processes to understand how these changes will affect them. The Board will continue to post periodic updates to the website based on feedback and questions received from stakeholders.

More information can be found at http://www.wcb.ny.gov/CMS-1500/

We provide our clients with a wealth of information and the tools they need to successfully navigate the complex web of compliance regulations and certifications.

For a preview of some of that support, you can request access to our State Resources.
