North Carolina Medicaid has updated the fax number for the Due Process/Appeals Unit, which handles claim payment and denial reviews. Providers must immediately begin using the new fax number 984-687-9569 (effective July 15, 2026) when requesting claim reviews to ensure timely receipt of appeals.
Action Required
By July 15, 2026: Billing team must update all internal documents, templates, and reference materials to replace the old NC Medicaid Due Process/Appeals Unit fax number with the new number 984-687-9569. Update billing software, appeal submission procedures, and staff training materials. Ensure all staff submitting claim appeals to NC Medicaid use only the new fax number. Failure to use the updated number may result in appeals not being received timely by the state, potentially causing claim denials to stand.
