J-LSMS 2021 | Winter

VALIDATE YOUR INFORMATION WITH MEDICAID EARLY The Louisiana Department of Health is asking all Medicaid providers to pay close attention to information sent this Fall. If you file claims with Louisiana Medicaid, you must enroll in the new Medicaid Provider Enrollment Portal to continue getting reimbursed. Even if you believe yourself to be enrolled, you need to validate your information. Enrollment ismandated by CMS and applies to any provider that provides care to Medicaid members, which includes current managed care organization (MCO) only providers, Dental Benefits Program Manager (DBPM) providers, Coordinated System of Care (CSoC) providers, existing fee- for-service providers, and any new providers enrolling for the first time. In Fall 2021, Louisiana Medicaid mailed letters to providers about this enrollment requirement. We are sending you this email because we want to make sure all of our providers complete enrollment timely. We don’t want anyone missing out on payment for services rendered.
