Connecticut Medicaid and New Haven routing.
HUSKY Health covers dermatology billing for eligible Connecticut beneficiaries, delivering most of that benefit through managed care organizations with a remaining fee-for-service population. The most common Connecticut Medicaid denials seen in New Haven are prior authorization missing or expired, plan-of-record mismatch (patient assigned to different MCO), medical necessity documentation insufficient, timely filing exceeded, and managed care vs FFS routing errors. Because each MCO credentials providers separately and enrollment runs 60-120 days from clean application, confirming plan assignment and credentialing status before the first New Haven visit is decisive for clean first-pass payment. Across New Haven's 8 organizations, even a few percentage points of MCO-routing error compounds into material rework.
