5.11.1.3 Verbal Denial
Providers may call the other insurance resource and receive a verbal denial. The other insurance record can either be updated when the provider files the claim or calls the TPR Customer Service at 1-800-846-7307. When calling TPR Customer Service line and when filing claims to TMHP, the provider must have the following information before any updates are made.
Verbal denial requirements:
• Date of the telephone call to the other insurance resource
• Insurance company's name and telephone number
• Name of the individual contacted at the insurance company
• Policyholder and group information for the client
• Specific reason for the denial, including the client's type of coverage to enhance the accuracy of future claims processing (for example, a policy that covers inpatient services or physician services only)
Providers that update a client's insurance records through the TMHP TPR Customer Service line must follow the current appeal process once the other insurance information has been updated on the client's file.
