Provider Network RemindersSite changes- all site changes require a minimum of a 30 day notification using the Notice of Change form. All new sites will need to be enrolled in NCTracks prior to being entered in Alpha. The effective date will be the date indicated on the Notice of Change(the actual date of the move) or the NCTracks effective date- whichever comes last. Previous sites will be end dated on the date the provider is no longer providing services from that site.
Please ensure your enrollment of any new site in NCTracks has an effective date that will not cause a gap as it may result in a gap in contract end and start dates which will result in payment denials.
-
Provider Network Reminders
• Important: There will be a suspension in a providers ability to be paid and receive authorizations for site changes that are not yet enrolled in NCTracks.
• Please note any services billed from a site that the provider has indicated they have moved from may result in a recoupment and a compliance referral.
-
Provider Network Reminders
Licensed Practitioners and Provider Agencies- please ensure that you stay current with your NCTracks enrollment. If your Medicaid Health Plan is terminated in NCTracks your enrollment with Alliance is suspended until you are reinstated in NCTracks.Effective dates once a suspension is lifted for current providers will mirror the NCTracks effective dates. If you are paid by Alliance for services when your NCTracks enrollment is terminated or if there is a gap in the reinstatement period you are at risk for recoupment for that time period.
-
Notification from DMA re: reverification
• Effective July 1, 2018, Medicaid and NC Health Choice Behavioral Health Providers who were added to NCTracks via the Local Management Entity/Managed Care Organization (LME/MCO) Provider Upload process must complete reverification. DMA identified 474 Behavioral Health providers as needing to complete reverification. Providers identified are being notified of their re- verification due date via NC Tracks communication to the Office Administrator on record.
• Providers who do not respond by the July 1, 2018 reverification due date, will be subject to claims payment suspension. Providers must submit either a reverification application or a full Managed Change Request to NCTracks for a claims payment suspension to be removed.
• NOTE: A list of providers scheduled for re-credentialing is available on the provider enrollment page of the North Carolina Medicaid website under the “Re-credentialing” header.
https://dma.ncdhhs.gov/providers/provider-enrollment
-
Credentialing Reminders• Re-Credentialing-Please note that at the time of re-
credentialing a billing review will be done for each Licensed Practitioner(LP). If there is no billing for the previous 12 months the provider will be decredentialed and unenrolled from the Alliance Network. The LP would be eligible to re-apply to the Network.
• Clinician License renewal reminder- Many clinical licenses expire on 6.30.18- in order to reduce risk of claim denials due to rendering providers license being expired please email a copy of the updated license to [email protected] in order for the updated license to reflect in Alpha. Please allow for a maximum of 3 business days for this to be updated in Alpha after this is submitted.

2017 Survey Analysis
June 20, 2018
-
2017 ECHO Survey
-
Very small sample size (n=79 adult, n=100
child)
Due to this sample, high margin of error
High/Low benchmarks are the range between
all NC MCOs, not national standards
Care Coordination responses were too low to compare, especially for adult survey (need
>= 30 observations)
Concerns About Interpretation
-
Margin of Error
*The margin of error ranged between 12-15% above and below the reported score for each MCO.
