District of Columbia timely filing
District of Columbia Medicaid doula timely filing deadline
The District of Columbia public ruleset does not expose one universal doula timely-filing day count. Check the state source, the payer portal, and the member's health plan before a claim gets close to deadline.
Keep claim numbers and client details out of public tools.
Check original, corrected, and appeal windows separately.
When managed care is involved, confirm the health plan's deadline too.
