New York’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 90 days for NY Medicaid. Missing these deadlines forfeits your right to payment, which is why timely claim submission is critical.
Yes, but requirements vary by managed care plan. Most plans require prior authorization for molecular diagnostics, genetic testing, tests over $500, and specialty immunology panels. Authorization timelines range from 7-35 days depending on plan and clinical complexity. TransLabs manages authorizations across all 17 NY Medicaid managed care plans to ensure approvals are secured before testing begins.
The Clinical Laboratory Evaluation Program (CLEP) is New York State’s laboratory licensing system administered by the Department of Health. CLEP permits specify exactly which tests your laboratory is approved to perform. Billing for tests outside your CLEP permit scope results in automatic denials, state sanctions, and potential license suspension. CLEP compliance is non-negotiable for New York laboratories.
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. New York falls under Medicare MAC Novitas Solutions (J-L jurisdiction), which has specific LCDs that differ from other regions. Billing a test with a non-covered diagnosis code results in automatic denial and potential audit exposure.
