Washington Apple Health coordinates Medicaid through five MCOs: Molina Healthcare of Washington, Coordinated Care (Centene), Community Health Plan of Washington (CHPW), UnitedHealthcare Community Plan, and Wellpoint. Each MCO maintains separate clinical criteria, prior authorization rules, and appeals timelines. Meticulous provider roster tracking is required.
Premera Blue Cross and Regence BlueShield lead private commercial health plan enrollment across Puget Sound, Spokane, and statewide employer groups. Practices must manage strict precertification portals, ambulatory surgical center carve-outs, and contracted fee schedule allowables.
Medicare Part A and Part B claims across Washington are processed by Noridian Jurisdiction F. Noridian actively enforces Local Coverage Determinations (LCDs) covering outpatient therapy, specialty injectables, and evaluation and management coding.
Under Revised Code of Washington § 48.43.096, health insurers must pay clean electronic claims within 30 days. Claims unpaid within this statutory window accrue 12% annual interest payable directly to the healthcare provider. We track clearinghouse timestamps to enforce statutory payment compliance.
