Medicaid Managed Care: How Can You Assist Your Beneficiaries After The Transition
May 19, 2021 1:00:00 PM / by Practice Support Team posted in Medicaid Managed Care
HOW CAN I SEE WHICH BENEFICIARIES ARE ASSIGNED TO ME?
Once the beneficiary has been assigned to the PCP/AMH, a provider can see these assignments by:
- Working with your contracted health plan
- Accessing information through the NCTracks Provider Portal
- Using the Recipient Eligibility function in NCTracks to verify this information for a single beneficiary.
- Using the NCTracks batch eligibility verification function.
- If you are an AMH, you can review the beneficiary assignment file you will receive from the health plan.
Providers cannot currently view their assigned beneficiaries as a list in NCTracks. DHHS will announce new functionality prior to the launch of NC Medicaid Managed Care, where providers will receive a monthly report to view the beneficiaries assigned to them.
