Arizona’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 AHCCCS managed care plans. Missing these deadlines forfeits your right to payment, which is why timely claim submission is critical.
The top five denial reasons are:
Yes, all six AHCCCS Complete Care managed care plans (UnitedHealthcare Community Plan, Mercy Care, Molina Healthcare, Banner University Family Care, Care1st Health Plan Arizona, and Arizona Complete Health) require prior authorization for molecular diagnostics, genetic testing, most tests over $500, and specialty immunology panels. Authorization requirements and processes vary by plan. The authorization process typically takes 8-21 days depending on the plan, complexity, and medical necessity documentation. TransLabs manages all six plan 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. Arizona falls under Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) Jurisdiction F (JF), administered by Noridian Healthcare Solutions, which maintains strict LCDs for molecular and genetic testing. Billing a test with a non-covered diagnosis code results in automatic denial and potential audit exposure.
