Before you submit to payer ID GAMEDICAID
Read the member's ID card
The claims payer ID or claims address printed on the card is the most specific source for that member's plan. Where it differs from a directory listing, the card generally reflects how that plan wants claims sent.
Check whether a third-party administrator runs the plan
Self-funded employer plans route claims to their administrator's payer ID, which is often different from the network or carrier name printed on the card.
Confirm the ID on your clearinghouse's payer list
Payer IDs are assigned per clearinghouse. Large national payers tend to use the same ID nearly everywhere; regional plans and administrators often do not. Search your clearinghouse's list for GAMEDICAID and confirm it maps to Medicaid Georgia.
Watch the acknowledgments, not just the remittance
A wrong payer ID fails at the clearinghouse or on the 277CA claim acknowledgment, not as a denial on the 835. A rejected claim was never received by the payer, so the timely filing clock keeps running until a corrected claim is accepted.
