The 2012 Appropriation Act, Item 297 PP.1. requires that the remittance that normally would be paid on Friday, June 29, 2012 will instead be paid on Friday, July 6, 2012. This annual delay was originally communicated in DMAS' Medicaid Memo of May 14, 2010.
All claims will be processed as usual based on the date they are received. Furthermore, providers will be able to verify claims status information via MediCall and ARS without disruption.
Providers should plan accordingly and prepare for this delay in claims payment. DMAS will not issue advance pays associated with this delay.
