Claims Reprocessing
TMHP may reprocess claims that were submitted with these procedure codes for dates of service on or after June 30, 2024. If there are any additional payments or recoupment, they will appear on future Remittance and Status (R&S) reports.
Reminder: All laboratory services providers must comply with CLIA rules and regulations. Providers may use the Provider Enrollment and Management System (PEMS) to submit their CLIA certifications.
Next step for providers: Providers should share this information with their staff.
