Summary
Alaska Medicaid has updated provider enrollment, EDI setup, and billing processes including new application cancellation policies, signature requirements, and medical records submission procedures. Providers must use specific forms and follow new workflows for trading partner enrollment, remittance advice setup, and claims attachments.
Action Required
Immediately: Alaska Medicaid providers must ensure all signatures are digitally or hand-signed (no typed signatures accepted). Submit PISA forms for each separate provider enrollment when setting up EDI billing. Use required coversheets when mailing medical records for adjustments, claims attachments, or appeals - documentation without proper coversheets will be returned to provider. Update contact information in applications to prevent cancellation under new 30-day incomplete application policy effective 9/30/2024.
