TCM Tip – Importance of Medicaid Eligibility Updates in Your Software

Accurate TCM billing depends on ensuring that Medicaid numbers and eligibility details are current within your software.

SSAs should routinely verify:

  • Medicaid ID numbers
  • Eligibility status
  • Effective dates of coverage
  • Any changes due to redetermination

When you become aware of any Medicaid eligibility update (e.g., redetermination completed, coverage lapses, or a new Medicaid number assigned), it is essential to promptly update this information in the software. Enter a new start date and end for changes in Medicaid eligibility.

Delays in updating eligibility details may result in claim denials and lost revenue.
