When is the primary EOB required for
Other Insurance (TPL)?
• When the TPL has denied the service as non-covered
Exception – If the TPL primary EOB contains an acceptable denial ARC code, the secondary windows can be completed with the ARC code, and no EOB is required
• When TPL has applied the entire amount to the copay, coinsurance, or deductible
Services that are NON-COVERED by the primary
insurance are NOT filed as a secondary claim.
The secondary windows may be completed to bypass
the need for the primary EOB attachment for TPL
