STATE OF WISCONSIN HFS 106.03(1), Wis. Admin. Code

COMPOUND DRUG CLAIM COMPLETION INSTRUCTIONS
ForwardHealth requires certain information to authorize and pay for medical services provided to eligible Wisconsin Medicaid, BadgerCare Plus, and SeniorCare members. Members of ForwardHealth 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 enrollment status, accurate name, address, and member identification number (HFS 104.02[4], Wis. Admin. Code). Under s. 49.45(4), Wis. Stats., personally identifiable information about ForwardHealth 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 requests, or processing provider claims for reimbursement. The Compound Drug Claim form is used by ForwardHealth and is mandatory when submitting paper claims for compound drugs. Failure to supply the information requested by the form may result in denial of payment for the services. To avoid denial or inaccurate claim payment, use the following claim form completion instructions. Enter all required data on the claim form in the appropriate element. Do not include attachments unless instructed to do so. All elements are required unless "optional" or "not required" is indicated. For Elements 15, 17, and 18, refer to the Online Handbook for tables and accepted values. ForwardHealth members receive a ForwardHealth identification card upon being determined eligible. Always verify a member's enrollment before providing nonemergency services by using Wisconsin's Enrollment Verification System (EVS) to determine if there are any limitations on covered services and to obtain the correct spelling of the member's name. For questions regarding these instructions, providers may contact Provider Services at (800) 947-9627. Note: Submit claims for non-drug items, such as clozapine management services, disposable medical supplies, durable medical equipment, and enteral nutrition products, on the CMS 1500 claim form or the 837 Health Care Claim: Professional transaction using nationally recognized five-digit procedure codes.
