Humana provider payment integrity policies and processes

At Humana, we strive to offer our members high-quality healthcare at affordable rates. To achieve this goal, Humana provider payment integrity (PPI) reviews Humana’s claims payments for accuracy and requests refunds if claims are overpaid or paid in error.

Common reasons for overpayments include, but are not limited to:

An issue regarding the coordination of member benefits

Medical record reviews

Member plan termination

Subrogation

Duplicate payments

Medical coding reviews

Incorrect provider reimbursement

Fraud, waste and abuse detection



The overpayments application on the Availity Portal helps you manage overpayments. You can:

Reduce overpayment resolution time by managing overpayment requests from multiple payers in one app.

View overpayment inventory in real time and assign related tasks to specific users.

Manage overpayment documentation and maintain case histories electronically.

Sign up to be notified when you have a new overpayment.

Request more information about or dispute an overpayment request.

The overpayments application is located on the Availity Portal under “Claims & Payments.” If you do not see the application, ask your organization’s Availity administrator to grant you the “Claim Status” role.

Learn the key advantages and steps for getting started with the overpayments application in this informational flyer. 

The most efficient way to dispute an overpayment is to use the overpayments application on the Availity Portal. To get started:

    Access the overpayments application on the Availity Portal at Availity.com under “Claims & Payments.” 

    In the application, click the action menu   on the card for the overpayment you wish to dispute.

    Select “Dispute Overpayment.”

    In the “Dispute Overpayment” window, select a dispute type and enter a description of the dispute. You must provide a description of the dispute.

    Click “Submit.”  

Alternatively, you can follow this dispute process:

    To dispute a medical record review – View the medical record review dispute policy and link to the medical record review dispute form.

    To resolve recoupment concerns – View information regarding general inquiries and the escalation process to resolve recoupment concerns, such as overpayments, financial recovery reviews, disputes and medical record requests.



These resources can help when you are interacting with PPI’s medical record review team.

Once a claim has been identified as overpaid, Humana may send a written notice of overpayment within the applicable time frame for each of Humana's products. Humana follows state regulations, provider contract requirements and CMS provisions when processing overpayments and recoupments.

Use the Injury Report and File Status Request to:

    Report accidents 

    Confirm if Humana provided benefits for an accident-related injury or illness 

    Request final payment information needed to settle claims made against other insurance carriers and individuals    

Once you have completed the request, please email a saved copy to SubrogationReferrals@Humana.com, or mail to: 

Humana Subrogation and Other payer Liability 
004/48110
P.O. Box 2257
