New Medicaid Bulletin Articles Available as of July 25

The NC Division of Health Benefits (DHB) has recently published new Medicaid Bulletin articles:

• Updates to NC Medicaid Payments to Prohibited Entities- NC Medicaid is providing additional information to providers about new federal prohibitions on certain providers.
• Important Updates to Prior Authorization and Claims Requirements for Optical Services- Based on prior authorization and claim changes, optical providers (ophthalmologists, optometrists and opticians) should review NCTracks enrollment status to ensure there is an individual optical provider enrolled at the practice location where the visual aids are being ordered.

Providers are encouraged to review this information. All bulletin articles are available on DHB's Medicaid Bulletin webpage.
