What's New
- Moratorium on New Enrollments for Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT)
-
The state has imposed a moratorium on new enrollments for non-emergency medical transportation due to a significant potential for fraud, waste, or abuse to the Medicaid program. The moratorium will be in place for a minimum of 6 months and may extend beyond that. Additional information will be announced as it becomes available.
- Provider Enrollment Revalidation
-
The flexibility that paused disenrollment for providers past their revalidation date during the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (PHE) is ending effective November 12, 2023. Providers with revalidation due dates of October 1, 2020, through November 11, 2023, have been given a post-PHE grace period to complete the revalidation process.
Providers can locate their new revalidation date on the revalidation spreadsheet located on the Revalidation web page under the Revalidation Resources section. Those providers will also be sent another notification six (6) months prior to their revalidation date.
Providers with revalidation due dates between October 1, 2020, through November 11, 2023, who had no claims activity in the last three (3) years must revalidate by November 11, 2023. Providers that do not complete the revalidation process by their revalidation due date will be subject to claims denial or disenrollment. Providers with revalidation applications that are ‘in process’ must complete the process by November 11, 2023. Visit the Revalidation web page to learn more about the provider revalidation process and how to prepare.
- Care and Case Management (CCM) System
-
Users who experience issues in the CCM System should complete and submit a CCM Support Request. Visit the CCM Known Issues web page to review previously reported issues. Password reset requests should be submitted to commit_helpdesk@gainwelltechnologies.com.
The provider services call center is no longer available for CCM System support.
