3. State-Specific Fact Block
Denial Management Services in Montana for Healthcare Providers: Montana Medicaid's 12-Month Clean Claim Rule
Under ARM 37.85.406, providers must submit clean claims to Montana Healthcare Programs within 12 months, and the department's own provider guidance says every problem with a claim has to be resolved inside that same 12-month period. Denied claims also can't be adjusted; they must be corrected and resubmitted as new claims, while electronic adjustments on paid claims stay valid for 365 days from the payment date.
On the commercial side, MCA 33-18-232 requires insurers to pay or deny a claim within 30 days of receiving proof of loss, or within 60 days if they made a reasonable request for more information. Late claims owe the amount due plus 10% annual interest.

What Makes Our Montana
Denial Management Services Different
Our process is built for Montana's payer rules and the small billing teams common across the state.
One Clock for Medicaid Fixes
Montana Medicaid gives no extra resubmission window after a denial. We sort every Medicaid denial by days left in its 12-month limit, so the oldest recoverable claims are corrected and resubmitted first.
Resubmit, Not Adjust
Denied Montana Medicaid claims can't be adjusted, only resubmitted. Our billers build clean replacement claims with the original issue fixed, which avoids duplicate-claim rejections and keeps your records easy to follow.
Prompt Pay Tracking
We log the date each commercial claim reached the payer. When a claim passes the 30 or 60 day limit under MCA 33-18-232 without a decision, it goes straight to follow-up.
Coordination of Benefits Follow-Up
When a primary insurer hasn't answered after 90 days, Montana Medicaid allows billing it anyway. We track those claims so secondary revenue isn't left waiting on a payer that never responds.
Monthly Recovery Reports
Every month you get recovered dollars, denial rate by payer, top reason codes, and appeals still open. The numbers show which fixes are working and where staff training would help most.
Coders Who Know Your Specialty
Your claims are handled by billers familiar with your specialty's CPT codes, modifiers, and documentation rules. Appeals cite the records and policy language a reviewer needs to reverse the decision.
