Claims submitted under this chapter must meet the following requirements:
A provider may not, on behalf of a recipient, submit a claim for services provided under this chapter unless the provider is the recipient's primary care provider or unless the covered service was provided as a result of a referral and authorization by the recipient's primary care provider.
If a recipient's primary care provider is submitting a claim for covered services, the claim must contain the primary care provider's National Provider Identifier number. If a provider is submitting a claim for covered services provided as a result of a referral and authorization by the recipient's primary care provider, the claim must contain the provider's National Provider Identifier number, as well as the National Provider Identifier number of the recipient's primary care provider.
A claim submitted without the required National Provider Identifier (NPI) number is cause for denial by the department.
