Summary
Alaska Medicaid provided updates on travel voucher policies, DME service authorization processing delays, and dental form implementation. Key changes include clarification that taxi vouchers should be approved when ANTHC shuttles don't serve destinations, and the 2024 ADA dental form will not be accepted until July 1, 2024.
Action Required
Before July 1, 2024: Dental providers using clearinghouses must ensure they continue submitting the current ADA form format. Contact your clearinghouse to confirm they will not switch to the 2024 ADA form before July 1, 2024, as Alaska Medicaid will reject early submissions. Monitor DME service authorization requests more closely due to processing delays and use the portal to check SA status.
