ADJUSTMENT / RECONSIDERATION REQUEST COMPLETION INSTRUCTIONS
ForwardHealth requires certain information to enable the programs to authorize and pay for medical services provided to eligible members. ForwardHealth members are required to give providers full, correct, and truthful information for the submission of correct and complete claims for reimbursement. This information should include, but is not limited to, information concerning eligibility status, accurate name, address, and member number (HFS 104.02[4], Wis. Admin. Code). Under s. 49.45(4), Wis. Stats., personally identifiable information about program applicants and members is confidential and is used for purposes directly related to ForwardHealth administration such as determining eligibility of the applicant, processing prior authorization (PA) requests, or processing provider claims for reimbursement. Failure to supply the information requested by the form may result in denial of PA or payment for the service. The Adjustment/Reconsideration Request, F-13046, is used by ForwardHealth to request an adjustment of an allowed claim (a paid or partially paid claim). Providers may request an adjustment when claim data need to be changed or corrected. After the changes are made to the original claim, the adjusted claim is processed. Providers cannot adjust a totally denied claim. A claim that was totally denied must be resubmitted after the necessary corrections have been made. Questions about adjustments and other procedures or policies may be directed to Provider Services at (800) 947-9627. The Adjustment/Reconsideration Request is reviewed by ForwardHealth based on the information provided. Providers may photocopy the Adjustment/Reconsideration Request for their own use. Providers should be as specific as possible when describing how the original claim is to be changed. Providers may also attach a copy of the corrected claim. The provider is required to maintain a copy of this form for his or her records. The provider should mail the Adjustment/Reconsideration Request to the appropriate mailing address: BadgerCare Plus Claims and Adjustments 6406 Bridge Rd Madison WI 53784-0410 WCDP PO Box 6410 Madison WI 53716-0410 WWWP PO Box 6645 Madison WI 53716-0645 INSTRUCTIONS Type or print clearly.
