Official Description: This claim is the responsibility of the interim Federal Health Program.
How to Fix It
Follow these steps in order to resolve the error.
- Confirm the patient's coverage status. Check the patient's file or contact them to obtain their Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP) Client Identification Number.
- Do not resubmit this claim to MSP. This claim is payable by the IFHP, which is administered by Medavie Blue Cross, not the BC provincial government.
- Your clinic must be a registered provider with Medavie Blue Cross to bill for IFHP patients. If registered, submit the claim through the Medavie Blue Cross provider portal using the patient's IFHP ID.
- Cancel or write off this claim within your billing software to prevent accidental resubmission to Teleplan. This claim will not be paid by MSP.
