Claim Submission

MCP has established 26, two-week processing cycles during the fiscal year for the submission and processing of provider claims. The end of each two-week cycle is marked by a cut-off date, or deadline, for the receipt of claims. Providers can submit claims at any time during a cycle. The list of claim cut-off dates for the upcoming year is distributed to providers through an MCP Newsletter.

Providers who wish to submit claims electronically must complete and submit an Electronic Billing Application.

Providers submitting claims to MCP may use private vendors' billing software, or MCP's TeleClaim Software, to prepare and reconcile claims. The software package chosen must use file formats that conform to MCP's specifications for electronic file transmissions. In addition, electronic submission will require installation of  MCP's MCPConnect / MCPSubsys software, a communication package which is provided free of charge.

Claim Payment

All claims which are accepted for payment will be paid to the provider through electronic bank deposit, on a payday three weeks from the cut-off date. A remittance statement will be produced for each provider that details each claim that was processed and paid. Providers will receive their remittance statements in an electronic format. The list of claim payment dates for the upcoming year is distributed to providers through an MCP Newsletter. Providers may assign their payments to another provider, group, or hospital by submitting a completed Assignment of Payment Agreement to MCP.

When necessary, MCP publishes and distributes Newsletters to providers. Normally, each Newsletter concerns a specific topic and may or may not be sent to all providers, depending on the relevancy of the issue to certain specialties or groups of providers.
