North Carolina’s statute of limitations is generally three years, but insurers have shorter deadlines: 90 to 180 days for commercial payers, 365 days for Medicare, and 12 months for NC Medicaid PHPs. Missing these deadlines forfeits payment, making timely submission critical.
The top five denial reasons are:
Yes, but requirements vary across all six PHPs. Each maintains different authorization rules for molecular diagnostics, genetic testing, and specialty panels. The process typically takes 5 to 26 days. TransLabs manages all six PHP authorization protocols simultaneously.
A Local Coverage Determination defines which tests Medicare covers and which diagnoses support medical necessity. North Carolina falls under Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) Jurisdiction M (JM), administered by Palmetto GBA, with strict LCDs for molecular and genetic testing. BCBSNC often mirrors these requirements, and billing with a non-covered diagnosis code risks automatic denial and audit exposure.
