Credit/Debit Card Processing

 

Hello!

 

We have found that we are receiving more requests from clients that want to pay their statements with a debt or credit card. Does anyone take cards? And if so, who is your vendor and what fees are attached?

 

 

Thank you,

NPI Numbers - Who needs them?

 

I am looking for a contact for knowledge in the area of NPI numbers.

When is it necessary to have a separate NPI number?  Should counties as an organization only have one?

Thanks

Billing to MMIS from IFS no longer working?

 

I’m wondering if you can help.  Has anyone mentioned any issued they’re having billing to MMIS?  I’ve been batch billing from IFS for year, but since November, none of my submissions have worked.  Do you have any ideas?

Paying bills through Waiver

Has anyone had success getting small bills for specialized equipment and supplies to get paid through the waiver? I have entered the prior auth number, the line description, as well as, the other information typically required for a claim – I haven’t had luck getting them to pull into a claim batch so I’m trying to do them through MN-its. When I validate prior to submitting I get a claim status code 41 – special handling required at payer site. I also get 252 entity’s prior auth/certification number note: this code requires the use of an entity code. Any ideas of what fields I’m missing to make these go away?

Thank you!
