Humana timely filing limit

Sourced answer

There is no single filing window for Humana Dental. The windows are public in Humana's own Dental Provider Manual, split by product line: “On most fully insured commercial products, claims must be submitted within 15 months from the date of service and Medicare claims must be submitted within 12 months from the date of service.” Corrected claims: No corrected-claim deadline is published; Humana's Q4 provider newsletter only explains marking a claim “Replacement of Prior Claim” in the Availity claim tool. Written appeal (grievance-and-appeal form): The deadline is not a published number — Humana's manual sets it at “the time limits set forth in the dental insurance policy … or the time frame established by applicable state law.” Provider contracts and plan documents override published manuals — the contract number controls.
