Summary
Alaska Medicaid updated policies for claims attachments, oxygen authorization requirements, and travel services. Multi-page HCFA claims are no longer accepted, electronic claims with attachments must use proper indicators, and oxygen renewals require face-to-face visits within 6 months.
Action Required
Immediately: Stop submitting multi-page HCFA (CMS-1500) forms - use electronic submission for claims with more than 6 line items. For electronic claims with attachments, ensure proper attachment indicators are included and use the Attachment Cover Sheet when faxing/mailing supporting documents. For oxygen renewals, ensure face-to-face visits occur within 6 months and document medical necessity properly.
