Potential Overpayment of Transportation Claims

HFS System Issue:

Potential Overpayment of Transportation Claims (A0120, A0130, A0422, A0426, AO428 and T2005)

The quantity billed for the units/mileage codes overwrote the units associated with the “trip” code.  The system multiplied the quantity of the billed units/mileage codes by the provider rates and paid the lower of the provider’s charge or the Department’s maximum allowable rate based on units billed multiplied by provider rate for the “trip” code.
