Re: Reciprocal Limitations on Claim Filing and Claim Audits – Time Limit for
Reimbursements or Offsets – Offset Agreement

Effective January 1, 2006, under 33-22-150, MCA health insurance issuers are
limited to a specific time frame to perform a review or audit following payment of
a claim.

In addition, 33-22-151, MCA prevents health insurance issuers from collecting a
claim overpayment or other reimbursement by offsetting another claim payment
made to a health care provider or other person unless the health care provider or
other person has previously authorized the health insurance issuer in writing to
recover an overpayment or other reimbursement by offsetting a future claim
payment.

If any form does not comply with these laws, an endorsement or amendment
must be submitted to the Department for review and approval. Forms submitted
after January 1, 2006 must comply with the new law.
