Subject: RE: PHP Provider Contracting Deadline November 15,2019
We’re also working on one now for AmeriHealth.
Have we contracted with anyone? I believe Leeanne you have given me and Angie copies of 2 insurance contracts this fy. One was BCBS and the other was Wellcare Health Plan. Is that the only 2 and was it for this?
thanks,
Laurie

Subject: [dph.section.chiefs] PHP Provider Contracting Deadline: November 15, 2019
Dear all,
I am forwarding this on behalf of Division of Health Benefits, in order to update you on a Managed Care deadline that impacts all Medicaid providers who want to continue to provide Medicaid services to beneficiaries enrolled in Medicaid Managed Care health plans. We have notified providers and provider stakeholders of this deadline.
For inclusion in auto-enrollment, provider PHP contracts must be signed and mailed to the health plan no later than Nov. 15, 2019.
As you know, North Carolina is transitioning its Medicaid program to managed care. Most beneficiaries will choose a health plan and a primary care provider (PCP). Those who do not make a choice will be auto-enrolled in a plan.
Medicaid has traditionally experienced high provider enrollment rates, which we want to continue. The November 15 deadline allows health plans to process provider contracts and ensure that providers can be paid. This typically takes at least two to three weeks, but it may take longer. Additional time is then needed to transmit information to the Department for inclusion in the auto-enrollment process.
Primary care providers who do not contract with health plans by November 15 risk losing patients, as health plans will enroll beneficiaries only with network providers. If a contract is not in place by Feb. 1, 2020, and the provider has not engaged in good faith negotiations, the provider is at risk for being reimbursed at 90% and subject to additional prior authorizations.
Please direct providers who want more information on contracting with a health plan to contact the health plans directly. Contact information is available on the Medicaid website at https://medicaid.ncdhhs.gov/health-plan-contact-information.
Learn more. DHHS will host a webinar to update all Medicaid providers who want beneficiaries assigned to them as a PCP during auto-enrollment. NC Medicaid will convey information on the requirement that for inclusion in auto-enrollment, provider PHP contracts must be signed and mailed to the health plan(s) no later than Nov. 15, 2019. The webinar will take place Sept. 24, 2019, at 2:30 p.m. Register online at https://goto.webcasts.com/starthere.jsp?ei=1263648&tp_key=175f509062.
Thank you.
