Kaiser Permanente: timely filing limit
Initial claim
No published default
Timely filing limits vary by contract. We could not confirm a single default limit that applies across every Kaiser Permanente contract, so we are not going to state one. Check your own participation agreement, or the payer portal, before relying on a number for this deadline.

Appeal window
No published default appeal window. Check the payer's own appeals policy.
Caveats
Kaiser Permanente operates through distinct regional Health Plans (for example Northern California, Southern California, Colorado, Mid-Atlantic, Northwest, Georgia, Washington), and each region publishes its own provider manual with its own timely filing language. No reliable source could be fetched during this research; confirm directly with the specific Kaiser region's provider services department.

Denial7 provides billing and administrative guidance based on published CMS and X12 sources. It is not medical advice, not a coverage determination, and not a guarantee of payment. NCCI and MUE edits are republished quarterly and payer policies vary by contract. Always confirm against the payer's own current policy before submitting or appealing.
