Si una reclamaci\u00f3n llega a Medicaid antes de que el plan privado la procese, Medicaid normalmente la denegar\u00e1. La soluci\u00f3n consiste en enviar la reclamaci\u00f3n primero al plan privado y luego rellenarla nuevamente.<sup><a href=\"#ref-11\" style=\"text-decoration:underline;\">11<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Los registros obsoletos causan problemas similares. Cuando un padre cambia de empleo, Medicaid puede seguir mostrando la p\u00f3liza anterior y retener el pago hasta que se corrijan los datos. Una llamada a la oficina de Medicaid resolver\u00e1 el problema.<sup><a href=\"#ref-12\" style=\"text-decoration:underline;\">12<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ambos planes pueden tambi\u00e9n aprobar la terapia con horarios diferentes.
