Billing Clearinghouse

Question from Kim at Watonwan County:

We have been using MNE-Connect for all of our PMAP billings and have two accounts.  There is  message on their page stating that Non-Participating Payers will need to pay a set-up fee as well as an annual fee. I called the number to inquire, and they have already removed the non UCare and South Country Alliance PMAPs from my account. I am unable to submit my January billing. Can you tell me what your county uses as a billing clearinghouse?  MNE-Connect is outrageous.

Programs/software for MH-TCM, CD services are counties using

 02-06-2026

What programs/software are counties currently using for claiming MH-TCM, CD, services for clients that have a PMAP/Commercial Insurance.

 Our claiming software has seen better days (PC-ACE Pro), and we are in a rush to find something new to replace it.

 What are other counties using to claim to PMAP’s and Commercial Insurance?

 We are currently looking at Inovalon: Claims Management Starter

The product Inovalon has for Eligibility lets you check to see if a clients PMAP/Commercial insurance has changed.

 Would like to be able to compare a couple of vendors.

 Any help or advice you can share would be greatly appreciated.

 Thank you

1099's categories question

 01-13-26

Hey group.  We are running into an issue with what to categorize for 1099’s as this season approaches. In the past, before we started here the previous people were using the “medical”/6 for any transportation or equipment that was being reimbursed through CADI waiver, DD waiver, or Elderly waiver.  We are just wanting to know what would be the reason they would have been choosing the “medical” for these waivers?  Would “medical” even be the correct choice or would do you code it as Yes or No?  Also what items would you use the “medical” for? 

Please reply to both with your insights! JPalubicki@winonacounty.gov and jettie.mickolichek@co.meeker.mn.us
