| Medicaid Expansion Payment Delay | | Payments to Medicaid providers for services rendered to Medicaid Expansion participants will be delayed by at least one week. You will see full payment for these services just as soon as we can process the payment files. Any claims that are impacted will remain in a WAIT PAY or WAIT REVERSE status until payments are released. Any denied claims will be allowed to process and finalize. The payment delay is due to an unanticipated temporary shortfall in the state budget for expansion members. Resolution of this problem is currently underway and we appreciate your patience and understanding. This delay in payment will NOT impact claims payments for services rendered to all other Medicaid participants, including Medicaid waiver participants. Healthy Connections case management payments will not be impacted. We expect extremely minimal or no impact to home and community based services provided to people with disabilities such as personal care services or in-home developmental disability services. Payments to providers through the Idaho Behavioral Health Plan, Idaho Smiles, Idaho Medicaid Plus and the Medicare-Medicaid Coordinated Plan, and non-emergency medical transportation payments through MTM will not be impacted in any way. If you have questions please call the Gainwell Technologies provider services at 1(866) 686-4272. Thank you for serving Medicaid participants. |
