If charging over the TASF dollar limit, what is the proper procedure?

• A. Contact ARC's TASF department for authorization.
• B. Raise the limit without notification.
• C. Issue a separate MCO to exceed limit.
• D. Ignore the limit.

Answer: (A)

When a charge would go beyond the TASF dollar limit, you must get official approval before processing the excess. This keeps the billing and settlement records accurate and ensures the over-limit amount is reviewed and authorized by ARC. Other options bypass controls or improperly circumvent the limit, which isn’t allowed: raising the limit without ARC’s notification, using a separate MCO to exceed the limit, or ignoring the limit would all create noncompliance. The correct action is to contact ARC's TASF department for authorization.
