Summary
Alaska Medicaid updated operational procedures including 2025 holiday closure schedules, billing cycle changes, member information update processes, claims submission requirements, and provider training schedules. Key changes include specific holiday closures affecting billing cycles and enhanced requirements for claim attachments and documentation.
Action Required
By March 31, 2025: Alaska Medicaid providers must ensure all claim attachments include proper coversheets and are sent to correct fax numbers or DSM addresses. Update billing procedures to include full zip+4 codes and taxonomy codes on claims to avoid Exception 3620 denials. Note Veterans Day billing cycle closes Sunday 11/9 instead of Monday 11/10. Register for upcoming provider training sessions scheduled for February 25-27, March 11-13, and March 25-27.
