Summary

Effective October 1, 2008, New Jersey Medicaid is discontinuing the LD-25 form for out-of-state hospital prior authorizations. Instead, providers will receive a Provider Notification Letter (FD360) with a 10-digit prior authorization number that must be entered in block 63 on UB92/UB04 claims.
