Montana’s statute of limitations for medical billing is generally eight 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 12 months for Montana Medicaid. IHS claims have specific filing requirements. Missing these deadlines forfeits your right to payment, which is why timely claim submission is critical. Weather-related extensions may apply following declared emergencies.
The top five denial reasons are:
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. Montana falls under Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) Jurisdiction F (JF), administered by Noridian Healthcare 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.
