Summary
Alaska Medicaid released updated guidance on travel forms, provider enrollment processes, claims submission procedures, and telehealth coverage. Key updates include continuing to use existing travel request packets while new forms are developed, clarification on behavioral health enrollment requirements, and confirmation that telehealth claims with modifier 93 can now be processed after system updates completed on 5/5/2025.
Action Required
Immediately: Resubmit any claims for CPT 99213 with modifier 93 that were denied if originally submitted before 5/5/2025, as system changes are now complete. Continue using current travel request packets as published - do not substitute the new Travel COMN form for sections 4 and 5. For provider enrollment signature issues, contact krystal.nichols@gainwelltechnologies.com with provider ID for evaluation.
