Indiana Health Coverage Programs (IHCP) has announced the following:
Provider Bulletin BT200916, released on May 29, 2009, indicated that a change in coverage of Polycarbonate Lenses would take effect on January 1, 2010. Since that time, economic conditions have forced the Indiana Health Coverage Programs (IHCP) to change this coverage plan. The expanded coverage of polycarbonate lenses will not go into effect. The existing policy, detailed in Chapter 8, Section 4 of the IHCP Provider Manual continues to be effective.
Providers who did provide polycarbonate lenses for members age 19 years and younger for dates of service on January 1, 2010 through January 15, 2010 will be reimbursed for that service. Hoosier Healthwise (HHW) claims should be submitted to the appropriate Managed Care Organization (MCO) for historical coverage amount and then resubmitted to HP with the MCO explanation of payment (EOP) for the extended coverage amount. A special mailing address will apply.
If you have additional questions please contact HP Customer Assistance line at 317-655-3240 or 1-800-577-1278 for assistance.
