Summary
Alabama Medicaid will conduct planned system maintenance on August 22, 2026, from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., causing intermittent outages and temporary unavailability of multiple online portals and applications. However, the critical Eligibility and Claims systems will remain available throughout the maintenance window, so billing operations should not be disrupted.
Action Required
By August 22, 2026: Billing team and providers should be aware that Alabama Medicaid online portals will be unavailable during the maintenance window (8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.). No action is required as the Eligibility and Claims systems will remain operational. If staff needs to submit claims or verify eligibility during this timeframe, use the Claims and Eligibility systems directly rather than portal-dependent workflows. Communicate this downtime to providers and front desk staff to prevent confusion and delayed claim submissions.
