5.1.7 Fiscal Agent Payment Deadline

The CSHCN Services Program fiscal agent is required to finalize all claims, including appeals or adjustments, within 24 months.

Provider claims - CSHCN Services Program payments cannot be made after 24 months from the date of service or discharge date on inpatient claims.

Retroactive SSI eligibility claims - The payment deadline is derived from the client's eligibility add date to allow 24 months from the add date for the retroactive SSI-eligible client.

Payment deadlines should not be confused with the claims filing deadlines that are in place for claim submissions and appeals.
