Summary
Illinois HFS updated their Managed Care Provider Resolution Portal requirements for resolving disputes with Medicaid MCOs. Key changes include mandatory 30-60 day submission timeframes, required MCO tracking numbers, and automatic closure of tickets missing prior authorizations or submitted outside timeframes.
Action Required
Immediately: Billing team must register with the HFS Provider Resolution Portal at illinois.gov/hfs/MedicalProviders/cc/Pages/ManagedCareComplaints.aspx before submitting any MCO disputes. Always obtain MCO tracking numbers before portal submission. Submit portal tickets only between 30-60 calendar days after MCO internal dispute submission or tickets will be closed. Respond to portal information requests within 5 business days to prevent automatic closure.
