How do I bill for a babys charges when the baby doesn have a Colorado Medical Assistance Program client ID number?
If the baby and the mother are both still in the hospital, you can bill using the mother’s Medical Assistance Program client ID number. If the baby is still hospitalized after the mother is discharged or if the baby is transferred to another hospital, the baby’s charges must be billed using the baby’s Medical Assistance Program ID number. How to submit claims using the mother’s Colorado Medical Assistance Program client ID number: Use the mother’s Medical Assistance Program client ID number along with all of the mother’s information (i.e., date of birth and name). Use the -UK modifier. The -UK modifier on the Colorado 1500 paper claim form identifies the claim as the baby’s. Note: The use of the mother’s Medical Assistance Program client ID number and the UK modifier only applies to charges billed on the Colorado 1500 for clients in the Fee-for-Service or Primary Care Physician Program. This does not apply to clients covered under Medical Assistance Program contracted HMOs.
