A boolean indicator identifying whether a healthcare claim was submitted to the payer within the contractually or regulatorily required timeframe from the date of service. Timely filing requirements are established in provider contracts and payer policies, with deadlines ranging from 90 days for some commercial payers to 12 months for Medicare and up to 24 months for some Medicaid programs from the date of service or discharge. Claims submitted after the timely filing deadline are denied as untimely and typically cannot be appealed unless the provider can demonstrate the delay was caused by circumstances beyond their control such as payer system errors or coordination of benefits delays. Timely filing denials represent permanent revenue loss that cannot be recovered. Healthcare data teams track tmly_filing_ind in claims submission analytics to identify charge capture and billing workflow delays, measure the financial impact of untimely submissions by department and provider, and implement process controls that flag encounters approaching filing deadlines.

The maximum number of days from the date of service or discharge within which a healthcare provider must submit a claim to a specific payer to be eligible for reimbursement under the provider contract or program rules. Timely filing limits vary widely by payer — Medicare requires claims within 12 months of the date of service, Medicaid limits vary by state from 90 days to 24 months, and commercial payers specify limits in individual provider contracts ranging from 90 days to 365 days. Healthcare organizations must maintain a payer-specific timely filing limit table and monitor claim submission timing against these limits to prevent avoidable denials. Healthcare data teams maintain tmly_filing_lmt reference tables by payer and plan type, use these limits in claims aging analysis to flag encounters at risk of timely filing denial, and calculate the potential revenue at risk when billing workflow delays push claims toward filing deadlines.
