The Trading Partner Account (TPA) portal is being upgraded to a new version in Fall 2017. This upgrade will result in a new look and feel and new features to enhance communication.
After the upgrade, all providers will need to have a TPA to access enrollment, maintenance, and training. If you do not currently have a Trading Partner Account, register for one now at www.idmedicaid.com. Detailed instructions on how to register can be found in the Trading Partner Account (TPA) User Guide.
More information on the upcoming upgrade can be found in the June 2017 MedicAide newsletter.

Idaho Medicaid requires the name and the National Provider Identifier (NPI) of the health care professional that ordered, referred, or prescribed (ORP) the items or services being submitted on a claim to Medicaid. If the ORP provider’s information is not listed on a claim, or if the ORP provider is not enrolled with Idaho Medicaid, the billing provider will not receive reimbursement. This means that health care professionals not currently enrolled with Idaho Medicaid will need to submit an application. There is an abbreviated application process for providers who do not submit claims to Medicaid but who must enroll as ordering, referring, certifying, or prescribing providers. The Ordering, Referring, and Prescribing Enrollment Application can be found here.
Further details regarding this requirement were published in the April 2017 MedicAide newsletter. |
