Cotiviti Pre-Payment Claims Pattern Review (CPR)

Cotiviti’s Pre-Payment Claims Pattern Review (CPR) solution will pause claim processing for providers whose billing behaviors require validation before paying.  Providers that are selected by Cotiviti will be asked to submit medical records related to claims under review.

The pre-payment audit will be reviewed in 90 days to determine compliance with billing and documentation requirements.

Reasons that providers are placed on pre-payment review may be due to:

• Potential outlier billing
• Medically Unlikely Edits
• Excessive Supplies

The provider must demonstrate a minimum accuracy rate of 90% with billing and documentation requirements for the pre-payment audit flags to be removed.

Applicable Lines of Business

PA Medicare and PA Medicaid

Implementation

This solution went live on June 19, 2023. HRP will deny CPR flagged claims using Message Code WA008.

Record Retrieval

Please send the medical records documentation using one of the following methods:

1.    Upload to the Provider Connection Portal:

The Provider Connection Portal is the new way for Providers to submit claim information to Cotiviti quickly, easily, and securely - all online. You will need your portal request code to upload a document. The request code can be found on attachment “A” of the medical record request form.

2.    Securely faxing to 800-317-8098.

Please note, failure to submit medical records within the 28-day timeframe will result in denial of payment.

Appeals

Where to send Appeals for Claims Pattern Review?
