Here’s how to verify benefits for outpatient facility services
Benefits for outpatient facility services that need a Current Procedural Terminology or Health Care Procedure Coding System procedure code are based only on the reported procedure code, and not the related revenue code.
Please remember that when a procedure code can’t be paid based on the group’s benefits, the payment will be rejected and become the member’s responsibility.
To check a member’s benefits, based on the HCPCS code, for Michigan Operating Systems migrated groups:
- Log in to web-DENIS.
- Click on Subscriber Info.
- Click on Benefit Search.
- Click on the Benefit Package Report tab.
- Enter the Benefit Package information.
- Enter the HCPCS code under Topic and click on Finish.
- Click on Search.
The results are displayed in the Benefit Package Report tab under Coverage Status, and are not a guarantee of payment.
Member benefits for non-migrated National Accounts Service Company groups are available only on web-DENIS, and are based on the benefit category. To check a member’s benefits:
- Log in to web-DENIS
- Click on Subscriber Info
- Click on Eligibility/Coverage/Coordination Of Benefits
- Enter the contract number
- Click on Enter
- Under Current Coverage Member Information, click on Detailed Benefits, then on HOSP
- Click on Hospital Outpatient provider type and click on Go.
- Review benefits.
Facility payment rules will still be available under the HCPCS Payment Rule Display tab under Facility Claims on web-DENIS. If you have any questions about how to view this information, please contact your provider consultant.
