Summary
ForwardHealth (Wisconsin Medicaid) is standardizing payment information release timing across all platforms. Starting May 28, 2010, remittance advice will be available simultaneously on the ForwardHealth Portal, WiCall, and 835 EDI transactions on the first business day after each financial cycle, instead of the current staggered release schedule.
Action Required
By May 28, 2010: Billing team must update workflows to expect remittance advice information from ForwardHealth Portal, WiCall, and 835 EDI transactions simultaneously on the first business day after financial cycles, rather than on weekends. Ensure staff are trained to access the secure ForwardHealth Portal for electronic remittance advice since paper RAs are no longer mailed. Consider enrolling in Electronic Funds Transfer for faster payment processing.
