New York Medicaid and New York routing.
New York State Medicaid covers hospice billing for eligible New York beneficiaries, delivering most of that benefit through managed care organizations with a remaining fee-for-service population. The most common New York Medicaid denials seen in New York 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 York visit is decisive for clean first-pass payment. Across New York's 12 organizations, even a few percentage points of MCO-routing error compounds into material rework.
