ICD10 Claims Processing
In efforts to ensure proper claims processing for inpatient claims and outpatient claims for dates of service beginning October 1st, 2015, all providers must provide a valid ICD-10 diagnosis code to the Jai Medical Systems Utilization Management Department upon notification of all Inpatient admissions and request for all outpatient services. Failure to provide the UM department a valid ICD-10 code could result in a delay or denial in payment. For all questions or inquiries regarding this matter please contact Laurie Hopple at 410-433-5600 option 16 or Amber Mathur at 410-433-5600 option 22. Thank you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Please refer to our FAQ document for additional information about the transition to ICD-10.

Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPTs) Clinical Criteria
As recently shared by the Maryland Department of Health regarding the NIPTs Clinical Criteria, Jai Medical Systems has added CPT 81420 and 81507 as covered services without the need for a Prior Authorization.  We do require providers to utilize our preferred lab vendor, LabCorp, for this testing.

Utilization management decisions made by Jai Medical Systems Managed Care Organization, Inc. staff are based on the appropriateness of care and the availability of benefit coverage.  There are no financial incentives or rewards provided to Jai Medical Systems Managed Care Organization, Inc. staff for utilization management decisions, including for denials of coverage or underutilization of coverage benefits.

The clinical criteria used for making utilization management decisions is available for review in the Jai Medical Systems Managed Care Organization, Inc. administrative offices.  Practitioners may request a copy of the criteria that is used in making utilization management decisions by calling our Utilization Management Department at 1-888-JAI-1999.
