Louisiana’s statute of limitations for medical billing is generally three 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 Louisiana Medicaid MCOs. Missing these deadlines forfeits your right to payment, which is why timely claim submission is critical. Note that disaster-related extensions may apply following declared emergencies.
The top five denial reasons are:
Yes, all five Louisiana Medicaid MCOs (Aetna Better Health of Louisiana, AmeriHealth Caritas Louisiana, Healthy Blue, Louisiana Healthcare Connections, 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 MCO. The authorization process typically takes 8-22 days depending on the MCO, complexity, and medical necessity documentation. TransLabs manages all five MCO 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. Louisiana falls under Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) Jurisdiction H (JH), administered by Novitas Solutions, 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.
