What a claim follows in South Dakota

Noridian, Jurisdiction F

Medicare Part A and Part B for a South Dakota practice go to Noridian Healthcare Solutions, Jurisdiction F, with North Dakota, Wyoming, and Montana. Minnesota and Iowa do not. Minnesota uses National Government Services. Iowa uses WPS Jurisdiction 5.

Workers' compensation

South Dakota is not a monopolistic fund state and not a no-fault state. A work injury is billed to the employer's carrier under the Department of Labor and Regulation. North Dakota's Workforce Safety and Insurance does not pay a South Dakota injury.

The North Dakota border is the trap. Medicare can stay with Noridian. Workers' compensation cannot stay with the state fund, because South Dakota does not use one. Medicaid enrollment is also separate.
