# Molina Kentucky Medicaid timely filing limit Answer: The initial dental filing window for Passport by Molina Healthcare (Kentucky Medicaid) is 365 days — from the date of service for CMS-1500 claims; the clock runs from discharge/date of service for UB-04, the primary payer's EOB for COB claims, eligibility posting for retroactive eligibility, and the denial date for resubmissions (Payment Policy 52, effective 2/23/2026) — “unless otherwise specified in a provider's contract,” and on conflict the contract language prevails. Corrected claims: 365 days — the normal filing limit applies to corrected claims submitted inside it; a recoupment landing after the limit opens the special 60-day window shown under recoupment. Appeal / dispute (claim denial or reimbursement): 60 days from the date of Molina's adverse determination (calendar days) — a different clock from the 60-day recoupment corrected-claim window below. Provider contracts and plan documents override published manuals — the contract number controls. Last verified 2026-08-30.

Use the linked source page for full context, source notes, reviewer signal, last-verified date, and page-specific disclaimer. ## Review state Dentovio is an independent publisher — not a payer, the American Dental Association, or any government agency, and it is unaffiliated with the insurers named here. This page was drafted with AI assistance and verified against the primary sources linked here. It has not been reviewed by a credentialed dental billing specialist or attorney. These pages record filing, correction, appeal, records, and recoupment windows as read in each payer's published documents on the last-verified date — and record honestly where no public number exists. Provider contracts override published manuals, editions change, and several payers set different rules per state, network, or program. Educational reference only, not billing or legal advice; confirm the controlling number in your participation contract and the payer's current provider manual before relying on it. ## Supporting public URLs - [/dental-timely-filing-limits](https://dentovio.com/dental-timely-filing-limits) - [/dental-claim-denial-codes](https://dentovio.com/dental-claim-denial-codes) - [/dental-prompt-pay-laws](https://dentovio.com/dental-prompt-pay-laws) ## Related answers - [California dental practice compliance checklist](https://dentovio.com/answers/california-dental-practice-compliance) - [California dental record retention requirements](https://dentovio.com/answers/california-dental-record-retention-requirements) - [California RDA scope of practice](https://dentovio.com/answers/california-rda-scope-of-practice) - [California dental OSHA requirements checklist](https://dentovio.com/answers/california-dental-osha-requirements-checklist)
