Indiana’s laboratory billing landscape presents obstacles that drain your resources, frustrate your staff, and leave significant revenue on the table. Here’s what’s costing you:
Five Medicaid MCEs (Anthem, CareSource, MDwise, MHS, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan) with different LCD requirements and authorization protocols. Labs waste 16-24 hours weekly navigating conflicting policies.
Indiana MCEs require authorization for genetics, molecular diagnostics, immunology, and toxicology. Approvals average 9-19 days. Missed requirements trigger 45-60 day appeals. Labs write off $60,000-$140,000 annually.
Indiana’s growing senior population and 43% Medicare Advantage penetration demand strict ABN compliance. Missing or improper ABNs trigger automatic write-offs and lookback reviews costing $42,000+ in refunds and penalties.
Managing Anthem BCBS Indiana, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Cigna, five Hoosier Healthwise MCEs, IU Health Plans, Parkview Health Plan, Medicare Advantage, and 140+ carriers with conflicting requirements consumes 26-38 staff hours weekly.
Major systems (IU Health, Parkview, Community Health Network, Ascension St. Vincent, Franciscan Health) create complex transfer pricing and affiliated provider billing rules. Errors cost labs $35,000-$85,000 annually.
BRCA, carrier screening, pharmacogenomics, NGS oncology, and hereditary testing face 31%+ denial rates. Payers demand peer-to-peer reviews, family history documentation, genetic counseling notes, and published evidence.
We’ll review 50 of your recent Hoosier Healthwise MCE claims and identify every LCD violation costing you money.

Indiana’s statute of limitations for medical billing is generally six years from the date of service. However, insurance companies have much shorter filing deadlines—typically 90 to 180 days for commercial payers, 365 days for Medicare, and 6-12 months for Hoosier Healthwise MCEs. Missing these deadlines forfeits your right to payment, which is why timely claim submission is critical.
The top five denial reasons are:
Yes, all five Hoosier Healthwise MCEs (Anthem, CareSource, MDwise, Managed Health Services, and UnitedHealthcare Community Plan) require prior authorization for molecular diagnostics, genetic testing, most tests over $500, and specialty immunology panels. Authorization requirements and processes vary by MCE. The authorization process typically takes 7-19 days depending on the MCE, complexity, and medical necessity documentation. TransLabs manages all five MCE portals to ensure approvals are secured before testing begins.
A Local Coverage Determination (LCD) is a Medicare policy that defines which tests are covered, which ICD-10 codes support medical necessity, and testing frequency limitations. Indiana falls under Medicare MAC Jurisdiction 8 (WPS), which has strict LCDs for molecular and genetic testing. Billing a test with a non-covered diagnosis code results in automatic denial and potential audit exposure.
We pre-verify medical necessity before testing, submit prior authorizations with comprehensive documentation to the appropriate Hoosier Healthwise MCE or commercial payer, use LCD-compliant diagnosis coding, attach required medical records, and proactively communicate with payers to prevent denials. For denied claims, we submit detailed appeals with peer-reviewed literature and clinical guidelines. Our molecular/genetic testing claim acceptance rate is 93%.
