Action Required
Immediately: Enrolled providers should access the Provider Portal to view letters under 'Secure Correspondence' > 'View Letters' for communications from the past 90 days. Institutional providers planning enrollment, reactivation, or adding new locations in 2025 must budget for the increased $730 application fee (up from $709). Providers offering American Sign Language services should log into the portal, navigate to 'Characteristics', and add 'American Sign Language' from the dropdown menu. Review retrospective authorization request timelines with Telligen to ensure compliance with specific deadlines (5 days for advanced imaging and dental, 30 days for EPSDT visits, 90 days for retroactive eligibility).
