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,

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

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?

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!

Below is information shared from the State. I am posting as an FYI/Heads up.
BRASS
359 had a title change for the 2022-2023 BRASS Manual. When that title
change occurred, the Service Start Date for this BRASS code was inadvertently
changed to 07/01/2022, it should have been 2021. We are
working swiftly to get this error corrected. May I ask you to hold tight on
creating that Service Arrangement and payment until the fix is complete?
Because this impacts the SEAGR report, this work is a high priority and we are
hoping this BRASS is working by the end of this week. My apologies
for the inconvenience.

We have run into a situation and we are not sure of the
proper process and wonder what other counties do in this situation. We
have a child placed in a foster home in another county. Our social worker
has been using a volunteer driver from the county where the child is placed to
transport the kiddo for visits. The other county has been sending us the
invoice to pay their driver direct.
This is great collaboration however, the amount billed is
based on the other county’s policy, not Wadena. Meals are automatically
paid a flat amount and no receipts required per the other county, our fiscal
policy requires receipts so with our agency cutting the check to the driver, we
are not following our own policy. This is also on the county’s dime since
it is not reimbursed by MA.
Does your county have a transportation reimbursement policy
that addresses what you will pay in a situation like this? If so, are you
willing to share? Is there a standard process for this amongst counties
and I am just not aware of the practice?
Any help is appreciated.

I
have a question I need posted to the blog.
My
question is: Is the QI costs now associated with Family First a
“billable” charge to the parent under parental fee?
