Through a series of PNM queries, Ohio Department of Medicaid (ODM) has identified several affiliation issues that impact billing organizations claims. It is imperative that providers fully execute all steps when affiliating a rendering provider to their group/organization/hospital to avoid claims payment issues. ODM has identified that providers tend to leave affiliations in one of two incomplete statuses (Affiliation Status):
- Pending Approval
- Confirmed
A provider affiliation can be initiated and completed by the group/organization/hospital, or it can be initiated through the rendering practitioner. If the affiliation is initiated through the rendering individual, it is not complete and remains in a “Pending Approval” status until the group/organization/hospital accepts and saves the affiliation. At that point it will appear as “Confirmed”. For the provider affiliation to be sent downstream and receive an “Active” status, there are two remaining critical steps:
- Click <Save> at the top of the page, which saves all the updates. Once saved, the user will have a new <Submit for Review> button appear.
- Click <Submit for Review>. Users must click on this button to complete the process and submit the affiliations downstream. Affiliations are fully executed ONLY once this final step has been taken.
Important: If these steps are not completed, the provider affiliation is not sent downstream, and providers will experience claims payment issues.
