Recoveries and Overpayments

MVP adheres to the time frames established by relevant auditing agencies, which may review up to three years of claim data. There is no time limit for Provider-initiated refunds to MVP. Should overpayment to a Provider be identified by MVP or another authorized agency, MVP may initiate recovery efforts through claim adjustments as permitted by law and in accordance with our policy.

Claim Timelines

A complete and accurate claim, or "Clean Claim," is defined as a properly completed UB-04 or 02/12 1500 claim form that contains all necessary data for processing, free from errors or conflicting information. Claims must be submitted within 180 days of the date of discharge or the date of service rendered.

Claim Returned to Providers Letter

Providers who receive a “Claim Returned to Provider” letter, indicating incomplete fields necessary for a Clean Claim, must respond to the letter or submit a corrected claim in compliance with the Provider’s contractual adjustment guidelines. If a corrected claim or contact is made beyond the contractual timeframe, it will be subject to timely filing requirements as specified in the Provider contract and may be denied.
