Important Message to all Utah Medicaid
Providers about NPI
UMA received the following message from Medicaid on March
18, 2008:
Effective April 14, 2008, Medicaid will reject
all claims submitted without the National Provider Identifier (NPI). At this
time, claims with certain NPI errors are being paid through our internal
system of cross walking. After April 14, 2008, your claims will no
longer be paid through this cross walking system.
As part of our ongoing effort to educate our valued
Providers, we are making this notice available. For detailed information on
proper billing procedures, have your billing staff visit the Medicaid
website at http://health.utah.gov/medicaid. From the main page, they
will find a section specifically for the NPI with useful links and training
resources. Medicaid is encouraging Providers to begin immediately submitting
claims with NPI’s only. This will allow you time to correct any problems
that may arise.
Failure to employ this recommendation may result in an
interruption in payment of your claims after the April 14, 2008,
deadline.
If you have additional question regarding this issue,
please call the Utah Medicaid Provider hotline at 1-800-662-9651 (in SLC, call
538-6155).
