• My Choice Wisconsin will pay your claim within 30 days after receipt of a complete and accurate claim for an eligible member. 
• Mailed claims payments, accompanied by an explanation voucher, are sent after each check cycle, excluding holidays. 
• EFT payments are sent after each check cycle. However, EOBs must be obtained through the Claims Web Portal, the WPS Portal, or your electronic clearinghouse if applicable. 
• My Choice Wisconsin will pay for services that are:
  • Part of the provider’s contract
  • Authorized (if required per guidelines)
  • Provided to a member in the previous month or time period
  • When claim is received within timely filing limit per contract

Regulations prevent My Choice Wisconsin from paying in advance for services.

If a claim is denied, you will receive an explanation voucher with a reason code and explanation of that code. Claims which are denied or paid incorrectly due to an error on the provider’s end should be resubmitted as a Corrected Claim and mailed to the normal claims address (except for Dental claims). For legacy MCFC members, submit a corrected claim form to the normal WPS claims address. 

If you need clarification on a denial, please contact the appropriate TPA:

• Cognizant – 1-855-878-6699

Family Care, Partnership, SSI, and Dual Advantage Members

If a member carries other insurance through more than one insurer, My Choice Wisconsin will coordinate the benefits to ensure maximum coverage without duplication of payments. The Provider Handbook has more details on coordination of benefits.

If traditional Medicare is the primary carrier:

• In many cases where traditional Medicare is the primary carrier, Medicare will automatically forward claims to My Choice Wisconsin. 
• If your Medicare Remittance Advice indicates that the claim was forwarded to My Choice Wisconsin, you should not submit a claim to My Choice Wisconsin.
• If your claim has not been processed within 60 days of the Medicare Remittance Advice, please submit your claim to My Choice Wisconsin, with a paper copy of the Medicare Remittance Advice, to the appropriate TPA, address listed above.

For all other insurance carriers:

• Providers must submit claims to the primary insurance before submitting to My Choice Wisconsin. 
• Following the primary insurance determination, paper copies of both the original claim form and the primary insurance Remittance Advice must be submitted to My Choice Wisconsin for secondary benefit determination (regardless of balance due). My Choice Wisconsin cannot accept secondary claims electronically.
• Providers must submit the documents within 120 days from the date on the primary RA. 

BadgerCare Plus Members

My Choice Wisconsin Health Plan will deny claims if it is determined that the member has other insurance as their primary carrier. My Choice Wisconsin Health Plan requires a copy of the EOB (Explanation of Benefits) or electronic submission of other insurance payments showing a denial or payment from the primary insurance carrier before payment will be considered or coordinated.

• Only services covered by Medicaid are payable regardless of other insurance coverage
• My Choice Wisconsin Health Plan will consider the Medicaid allowable for the entire claim and the entire amount paid by the primary insurance when calculating secondary payment. If the primary insurance paid more than Medicaid allowable for the entire claim no additional money will be paid.
