TAD Deadline

---

Effective June 9, 2005 at 12 Noon, Unisys will no longer accept any Long Term Care claims billed on a TAD.  Any TADS received by Unisys after June 09, 2005 will be returned to the provider. The last Unisys generated TADS will be for May, 2005 dates of service.  This billing change also applies to billing for prior dates of service. With only three months remaining before this deadline, it is imperative that you begin submitting claims electronically using the mandated X12 837I format or hardcopy using the UB-92 claim form prior to the effective date to prevent delays in payment. Please contact Unisys EDI for assistance with electronic billing at 225-216-6318 and Provider Relations for assistance with UB-92 billing at (800) 473-2783 or (225) 924-5040.  

Currently, Medicaid accepts the 1990, 1994 and 2002 American Dental Association (ADA) Claim Forms for prior authorization and reimbursement of dental hardcopy claims.  Effective January 1, 2005, the 2002 American Dental Association Claim Form and the 2002, 2004 American Dental Association Claim Form will become the only hardcopy dental claim forms accepted for Medicaid prior authorization and reimbursement of services provided under the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment (EPSDT) Dental, Expanded Dental Services for Pregnant Women (EDSPW) and Adult Denture Programs regardless of the date of service.
