I believe it is the transfer of processed claims from Medicare to Medicaid or state agencies and insurance companies that provide supplemental insurance benefits to Medicare beneficiaries.
Medicaid
hi
12 months or one year
Medicaid is administered by the States, each of which has its own billing procedures and reimbursement rates.
Yes the application is processed as usual; and if the individual is found to be eligible, the case is approved with an ending date corresponding to the date of death.
In Florida, it's 12 months from the date of service.
One can guard against Medicaid fraud by looking after any documentation provided for claims. One can also report anyone they suspect of offering fraudulent treatments.

The way a superbill is processed depends on what type of insurance the patient has. For example, if a patient has Medicare or Medicaid, the claim is billed electronically via a computer software that is sometimes referred to as a claims clearinghouse. There are many other insurances that require that all charges be submitted electronically. If you are billing an insurance company that accepts paper claims, you simply ensure that the claim is completed correctly and mail it to the claims address that is specified by the insurance company. If you are billing a secondary insurance payor, you have to make sure that a copy of the remittance that shows how much the primary insurance paid is attached.
