Rhode Island’s statute of limitations is ten years—one of the nation’s longest. However, insurance filing deadlines are much shorter: 90-180 days for commercial payers, 365 days for Medicare, and 12 months for RI Medicaid MCOs. Missing these deadlines forfeits payment.
A Local Coverage Determination (LCD) is a Medicare policy defining which tests are covered, which ICD-10 codes support medical necessity, and frequency limitations. Rhode Island falls under Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) Jurisdiction K (JK), administered by National Government Services, with strict LCDs. BCBSRI often matches or exceeds Medicare’s requirements.
