Summary
Alaska Medicaid released updated Q&A guidance from their October 16, 2024 town hall meeting covering provider enrollment, claims processing, and service authorization procedures. Key updates include clarification that COVID vaccine administration code CPT 90480 no longer requires NDC numbers, and new escalation contact information for various billing issues.
Action Required
Immediately: If you have Alaska Medicaid claims for CPT 90480 (COVID vaccine administration) that were previously denied for missing NDC numbers, resubmit them for reconsideration as NDC is no longer required. Update billing procedures to remove NDC requirement for this code.
