23-818 Bill Correctly to Get Paid - New Payment Edits to Be Added

Date: 08/15/23

New payment edits will ensure compliance with state guidelines.

Effective October 19, 2023, Health Net, on behalf of CalViva Health, will implement new edits described below on claim payments to ensure compliance with state guidelines.

Claim edits

  • Procedure for Required Diagnosis Mismatch (PRDM) – Review procedures and diagnosis codes at the claim level to ensure California Medi-Cal rules allow the codes to be billed together.
  • Procedure for Excluded Diagnosis Mismatch (PEDM) – Review procedures and diagnosis codes at the claim line level to ensure the diagnosis code is not disallowed in California Medi-Cal rules to be billed with the procedure code.

These claim edits are supported by Medi-Cal billing guidelines. A list of procedure codes which may be affected by this change is available below.
