Section
02: SUBMISSION OF PRESCRIPTION CLAIMS
- Pharmacies
must submit claims through an on-line point-of-sale adjudication system
within 30 days of dispense date.
- Pharmacy
Vendor and Point-of-Sale Devices:
- Point-of-sale
claims must be submitted to CBCA Rx through a pharmacy computer system
or point-of-sale device. Please contact your pharmacy system or point-of-sale
software vendor with any questions about how to submit point-of-sale
claims.
- Point-of-sale
claims submitted to CBCA Rx must be transmitted through a communication
network. All claims must be submitted in NCPDP Version 3.2 (3A) format
unless otherwise stipulated by CBCA Rx.
-
CBCA
Rx will identity whether a claim has been accepted or rejected. If
the claim is accepted, CBCA Rx’s claim processing system will identify
the amount paid and the co-pay to be collected. Our claim processing
system will provide additional informative messages when possible
(e.g., the quantity allowed is less than submitted). If the claim
is rejected, CBCA Rx’s claim processing system will identify the reason(s)
for the rejection.
-
All claims
received at CBCA Rx by the last business day of the processing cycle
will be processed in the current payment cycle. Checks will generally
be disbursed within three weeks of processing and will be mailed to
the pharmacy by CBCA Rx.
-
PCN (Processor
Control Number)
When
submitting claims through point-of-sale, the pharmacy is not required
to submit a Processor Control Number. Your switch may require one.
-
BIN Number
When
submitting claims through point-of-sale, the pharmacy is required
to submit a BIN number (Bank Identification Number) to route the claim
properly to the CBCA Rx Claim Processing System. The BIN number for
CBCA Rx is 006160. Your pharmacy service department or software vendor
will need this number to properly submit claims to CBCA Rx.
-
Reversals
If a
claim previously accepted through point-of-sale must be resubmitted,
the pharmacy must first submit a reversal. A reversal should also
be submitted when a member fails to pick up a filled prescription.
There is no time limit for the submission of reversals.
-
Compounds
CBCA
Rx will be establishing enhanced guidelines for compounding. Until
the credentialing requirements are in place, any store submitting
a claim for compounds will be remunerated according to the following
standards:
All claims
for compounded prescriptions that contain a legend ingredient can
be sent to CBCA Rx through the on-line system. Use the NDC number
of the most expensive legend drug when submitting a compounded prescription
claim. Indicate through your software that the prescription is a compound
through the use of the compound code. The NDC numbers, medication
names and quantities of the individual ingredients in the prescription
must be maintained in the pharmacy's records and the pharmacy may
be subject to audit of these compounded prescriptions.
-
Prescription
Log
The pharmacy
shall have the member sign a prescription log for all CBCA Rx prescriptions
dispensed.
-
DEA Number
CBCA
Rx uses the DEA number as part of its drug utilization management
programs. To provide the best quality service to our Clients, CBCA
Rx requires that pharmacies input the DEA number on all submitted
claims. CBCA Rx plans to utilize another standard physician identifier
as soon as a new industry standard is available.
-
The pharmacy
provider is expected to substitute generic drug products when appropriate
and within the state laws and regulations.
-
The pharmacy
provider is required to submit an accurate Dispense as Written (DAW)
code.
-
The pharmacy
provider is expected to display all Drug Utilization Review (DUR)
alerts to the dispensing pharmacist.
-
The pharmacy
provider is expected to facilitate member counseling regarding medication
use, storage, and potential adverse effects.
-
The pharmacy
provider is expected to notify CBCA Rx within 48 hours of any change
regarding the pharmacy or pharmacists license.
Troubleshooting
If the pharmacy
system or point-of-sale software is unable to make a connection with the
CBCA Rx claims processing system, the pharmacy should contact the communication
network vendor (or chain headquarters if the pharmacy chain has a direct
line to CBCA Rx). If no problem is found through the efforts of the communication
network, please contact CBCA Rx at 1-800-383-8737.
If clarification
is desired for reasons provided for a claim rejection, contact CBCA Rx
at 1-800-383-8737. Please have your pharmacy's NABP number and prescription
number available, as well as the member’s ID number when calling. This
telephone number should be used for any questions related to pharmacy,
prescriber, or member eligibility.
Adjustments
Through internal
quality control procedures, a pharmacy may discover it has been incorrectly
paid for a prescription. The prescription may have been filled but not
picked up by the member, or an inadvertent billing error may have been
made. DO NOT send a refund check to CBCA Rx.
Please notify CBCA Rx of the overpayment and an adjustment will be made
to a future pharmacy check for the amount in question. CBCA Rx will need
the following information to make the adjustment:
*
Pharmacy NABP #
*
Member Name and Date
*
Dispense Date
*
RX number or NDC Number
In summary,
when an overpayment is discovered by the pharmacy, contact CBCA Rx at
800-383-8737.

Section
03: CBCA Rx IDENTIFICATION CARD
CBCA Rx has
many clients and several different eligibility cards. Below is a sample
card:


Members of
most plans are provided with a Membership Identification card. Each family
member may be listed on the card, each family member may be issued his
or her own card, or only the cardholder's name may appear on the card.
When filing
a claim for services, it is important to see the ID card and the name
of the member who will be using the prescription. The presentation of
an ID card does not guarantee eligibility for a prescription benefit.
Eligibility can only be determined through the on-line adjudication process
or by approval from CBCA Rx or CBCA Rx's representative.
For cards
with multiple service logos and information, please
note the above logo to represent CBCA Rx pharmacy services.
These are
some of the fields that generally appear on the card to help the pharmacist
identify the plan and the member.
GROUP
NUMBER: An EIGHT-digit number designated by the Plan Sponsor
or CBCA Rx MUST be submitted by the pharmacy.
CARDHOLDER
ID NUMBER: (The subscriber identification number). The
cardholder ID number may be followed by a two-digit suffix. This suffix
should be included when submitting claim information.
CARDHOLDER
NAME: The subscriber name associated with the cardholder
ID number.
COPAY:
Please refer to the Specific Plan Sponsor Information.
If unable
to process the claim electronically, please call the Help Desk at 1-800-383-8737
to ascertain eligibility. Ensuring that the member receives their prescription
efficiently is a primary concern of CBCA Rx.
WORKER’S
COMPENSATION PROGRAM: Please refer to the Worker’s Compensation
Section of this Manual.
TOP
Section
04: PRIOR AUTHORIZATIONS
At the request

additional information to be obtained to determine if the benefit is covered.
Claim
Message on Prior Authorization
The following
components on the claim message indicate that a prior authorization is
needed: "75" with message "Prior Authorization Required."
Please advise
the member of the need for a Prior Authorization and facilitate the process
by contacting the CBCA Rx helpdesk at 1-800-383-8737. If this is not possible,
please refer the member to CBCA Rx’s helpdesk at 1-800-383-8737.
Final decisions
will be communicated to the member. At the member’s request and under
specific arrangements, the pharmacy will be notified directly.

07: PHARMACY AUDIT REQUIREMENTS
As the prescription
drug benefits manager for various customers, CBCA Rx has an obligation
to ensure all contracted services are being provided. Compliance with
the Participating Pharmacy Agreement is critical. CBCA Rx or its designates
will perform pharmacy audit functions to ensure program integrity.
Audit Considerations:
- Audits
may encompass prescriptions processed up to 36 months prior unless otherwise
legally required.
- Hard copy
prescriptions must be readily available upon request.
- All prescriptions
must contain complete documentation of items and quantities dispensed
including insulin and syringes.
- Hard copies
must be updated yearly unless otherwise stipulated by state law.
- A signature
log must be maintained for all claims submitted. The patient or Authorized
representative must sign the log for each prescription received.
- Signature
logs must be maintained for the same length of time required to maintain
prescription hard copies. The logs must be readily available for audit.
- If the
plan authorizes the use of a Universal Claim Form, this form must have
the cardholder's signature on the tissue copy.
- The quantity
to be dispensed must be entered exactly as written on the prescription.
Adjustments to meet plan parameters or legal requirements are permitted.
- The days
supply must be entered exactly as written on the prescription, if the
physician has included this information.
- Subsequent
changes to the prescription by the prescriber must be noted on the prescription.
- Dispense
as Written (DAW) codes must be used correctly. Follow-up documentation
resulting from the Audit is not permitted.

Section
08: COMPLAINT AND APPEALS PROCEDURE
CBCA Rx maintains
two separate procedures for resolving complaints and formal grievances.
While CBCA Rx prefers to resolve complaints in an informal fashion, it
recognizes that occasionally a matter may not be resolved to the satisfaction
of a member or Provider. If that happens, the following are the steps
to take:
Complaints
A) Denial
of Urgent Services - This procedure is to be used:
1) If
a member has been denied needed, medically necessary and potentially covered
services AND
2) You or the Member believes that serious medical consequences will arise
in the near future (within 7 - 10 days) on the basis of that denial.
You (or the Member)
should call Provider Relations and explain the problem. CBCA Rx, or its
agents, will collect the relevant information from you and any other providers.
CBCA Rx will then review the matter. You and the Member will be notified
in writing of CBCA Rx's decision within five (5) business days of the
receipt of all the information necessary to decide the issue, whichever
is earliest.
B) Other
Complaints
Every Member and every
Provider may use this process to resolve other types of complaints that
have not been resolved informally. For a Provider, this process is not
appropriate for use in credentialing and re-credentialing matters. The
procedure as described in this section is appropriate to use for the following
types of problems (the following is not an exhaustive list):
-
The patient
will not follow medical instructions, and the Provider wishes to terminate
a relationship with the patient;
- The Provider
is unable to obtain records from another Provider necessary to perform
services;
- The Provider
is not receiving the reimbursement he/she believes is required;
- The Provider
has experienced difficulties obtaining required information from CBCA
Rx or its agents;
- CBCA
Rx has denied prior approval for what the Provider or patient believes
to be an indicated, but not emergency, service or referral.
These complaints
should be made by calling or writing the CBCA Rx Provider Relations (or
Member Services) Department. CBCA Rx will investigate and a determination
will be reached within five (5) working days. This decision will be communicated
to you in writing within five (5) working days after that.
If you or
the patient is not satisfied with the resolution of issues raised in this
way, you may appeal using the formal appeals process.
Formal
Appeals Procedure
This Appeals
Procedure is to be used after efforts to resolve a problem informally,
and then through the above procedures, have not been successful in resolving
the concern to the satisfaction of the Member of the Provider. An appeal
should be made within 120 days after the discovery of the problem leading
to the complaint.
- An appeal
must be requested in writing to CBCA Rx, Attn.: Prescription Benefit
Management, 675 Foxon Road, Suite 204, East Haven, CT 06513. The letter
should contain a statement of the problem, an explanation of why the
earlier efforts at resolution were not satisfactory, and a statement
of and rationale for the outcome you are seeking.
- Your
appeal will be presented to a Committee established by CBCA Rx. If
you wish to appear before the Committee in person, please include
that request in the letter of appeal; CBCA Rx will then notify you
of the date and time during which the Committee will consider the
appeal.
- If the
appeal concerns a denial of urgent services, the Committee will decide
your appeal within three (3) business days of the receipt of the appeal.
CBCA Rx will then notify you immediately in writing of its decision.
Otherwise, the Committee will decide the appeal within fifteen
(15) business days of the receipt by CBCA Rx of the appeal.
CBCA Rx will notify you in writing of its decision, and the reasons
for it, within five (5) business days of
the decision. This letter will also describe further appeal rights.
- In all
cases, unless otherwise determined by law, all final appeals will
be held with CBCA Rx’s client. This reflects CBCA Rx’s client ultimately
of establishing and interpreting plan rules.

Section
09: WORKERS COMPENSATION
Workers Compensation
claims are processed on-line as other claims.
For new injuries,
claimants with established claims will present a card. The prescription
will have a sticker on the back. This is the compensation guarantee of
payment and provides on-line billing information. For assistance, contact
the Help Desk at 800-383-8737.
Coverage
for Workers Compensation is determined by the outcome of the injury claim.
Coverage may be indefinite or as short as a few weeks.
Each injury
claim is assigned an appropriate drug class coverage. This may not always
meet the Claimant’s needs. Please contact CBCA Rx at 1-800-383-8737 or
refer the claimant to CBCA Rx.
In the event
that the claimant and the medical provider designate a drug as related
to the nature of the injury, verbal approval, from sources other than
CBCA Rx, does not guarantee payment.

Section
10: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q.
What is CBCA Rx’s BIN number?
A. The BIN
number for all CBCA Rx Plans is 006160.
Q.
What is CBCA Rx’s processor control code?
A. CBCA Rx
does not require an access code to process claims; however, the switch
or the chain headquarters might require these to process.
Q.
What is my pharmacy’s access code for CBCA Rx to process claims
electronically?
A. The CBCA
Rx HelpDesk Associates do have an abbreviated list of chain access codes.
If you are contracted and do not know your pharmacy’s access code, you
can contact the CBCA Rx HelpDesk or your software vendor for assistance.
Q.
Is my pharmacy a Contracted Pharmacy?
A. Many independent
pharmacies are contracted with CBCA Rx, but may not realize they are in
our network. This may occur when that pharmacy is a member of an organization
that is contracted with CBCA Rx. For any non-participating pharmacy, upon
contract, CBCA Rx will facilitate an immediate 30-day processing opportunity.
A contract will be forwarded the following business day. Each pharmacy
that receives a newsletter has had claims processed through CBCA Rx.
Q.
What is the correct relationship code for this member?
A. Relationship
code refers to the cardholder, spouse, and dependent. It is independent
of the person code; e.g., all dependents may have the same relationship
code.
Q.
What is the correct person code for a family member?
A. Person
Codes for family members usually follow a set pattern: Cardholder is always
"01"; Spouse is always "02"; dependents are numbered
"03" to "99". Usually, the dependents are numbered
according to the age of the dependent. The oldest dependent will start
at "03". The person codes assigned to the dependents within
a specific family are not reassigned when an older child is no longer
a dependent as defined by the plan parameters.
Q.
What does "Invalid Date of Birth" message mean if the correct
date of birth has been submitted?
A. Always
check the relationship code submitted. A cardholder must be entered as
such and submitted as a cardholder. Relationship coding is primary in
checking appropriate eligibility. If a provider software has multiple
linking requirements, oversight of the multiple links may lead to submission
of incorrect data.
