Summary
Alaska Medicaid has updated provider enrollment requirements, documentation submission processes, and introduced new DSM contact addresses for claims attachments and appeals. Key changes include stricter enrollment documentation requirements, new email subject line standards, and expanded DSM submission options.
Action Required
Alaska providers must: 1) Ensure all provider enrollment applications include Zip+4 codes, complete taxonomy codes, and proper affiliations to prevent claim denials. 2) Use new standardized subject line formats for all enrollment communications (format: Provider ID/Name/Type/Description). 3) Update contact lists with new DSM addresses for claims attachments (AKClaimsAttachments@hms.fa.directak.net) and appeals (AKAppeals@hms.fa.directak.net). 4) Complete required self-audit for calendar year 2021 or 2022 by December 31, 2024, submitting directly to DOH Program Integrity - do not use AK-05 forms through HMS.
