Payors and groups may purchase Devon Health Services affiliated network access to augment the
coverage for NCPPO business managed by NCPPO/HealthLink. HealthLink provides the claim
repricing function.
To successfully implement Devon affiliated network repricing:
The payor's ID card should identify NCPPO and Devon logos. The Devon network “wraps” around
NCPPO for the business managed by NCPPO/HealthLink. Payors may list under the Devon
logo “for DE, NJ, NY and PA”. Provider claim mailing instructions should state EDI
#90001 and to send all par claims to NCPPO/HealthLink at P.O. Box 419104, St. Louis,
MO 63141-9104.
The repricing system will be set to reprice NCPPO affiliation first, then Devon Health
Services affiliation second. This means that for the few par providers overlapping
between both networks, NCPPO will be primary.
The payors will need to set their own system (using network IDs) to send provider
payments to NCPPO for NCPPO par providers, and to Devon providers directly for Devon
par providers.
The claims will be repriced using the repricing organization identifiers as follows:
NCPPO Medical 90001 0002
Devon Health Services 90001 0058
The payor programs for the EOB remarks corresponding with the codes/designations above.
Claims will appear as “par PPO” using 12 in SBR09 in ANSI loop 2000B.
Payors and/or groups must have a special contract in place for Devon Health Services
affiliation managed by the HealthLink/NCPPO. The current access fee rate is $5.25 PEPM
for groups with NCPPO and Devon. Payments are made to NCPPO at P.O. Box 790129, St.
Louis, MO 63179-0129.
Payors must include the Devon wrap designation on group notification forms sent to
NCPPO/HealthLink.
Devon Health Services participating providers are listed on the Devon Health Services
website www.DevonHealth.com (see provider finder function). (Pre-published directories
are not available).
For payors needing a Devon par file to administer the PPO business properly, the par
file is a full file, comma-delimited format, available via FTP on our server (with
password) on the 2nd to last Wednesday each month. Devon specialty codes
are used on this special par file.
Par file documentation and camera-ready logos are available (after contracting for Devon
affiliation) by contacting your account manager.
