This week's (October 10, 2024) ProviderOne payment is delayed for some Social Services Providers. The Health Care Authority (HCA) has informed the Department of Social & Health Services (DSHS) that there is a delay for this week's ProviderOne payment cycle, affecting some Social Services Providers. There are approximately 465 total providers who submitted claims by 10/8/2024 who are affected.
The expectation is that electronic funds transfer (EFT) payments and paper checks will be sent on Monday, 10/14/2024. The payments sent out on 10/14/2024 will be on the Remittance Advice (RA) dated 10/18/2024. If you have questions about this or do not receive payment when expected, please contact HCA's Medical Assistance Customer Service Center (MACSC) via phone at 800-562-3022 (choose "provider services") or via webform. We apologize for any inconvenience.

ProviderOne has identified a small set of providers affected by a remittance advice issue that occurred on September 5-6, 2024. A Mass Adjustment of the impacted claims will be completed to ensure all financial aspects used in reconciling accounts are connected back to the original Transaction Control Numbers (TCNs) on the unbalanced remittance advice. A message will be placed on the identified providers' remittance advices to inform them that the Mass Adjustment is complete. If you do NOT see a message on your Remittance Advice, you are not one of the providers impacted by this issue. For those providers impacted by this issue, if you have additional questions, please submit a ProviderOne help request to mmishelp@hca.wa.gov.

• The impacted claims have been patched and the correct payment amounts are now showing in ProviderOne.
• A Mass Adjustment of these provider's impacted claims has been completed to ensure all financial aspects used in reconciling accounts are connected back to the original Transaction Control Numbers (TCNs) on the unbalanced remittance advice.

When OHP subscriber is accessing ProviderOne from OHP, OHP sends to ProviderOne the OHP role the OHP subscriber has associated.  When the ProviderOne security domain does not have ProviderOne profiles associated for ProviderOne profiles to OHP role, the incorrect message is displayed "No User Profiles assigned to the User. Please contact HCA ProviderOne Security”. 

The correct message is "Error: Please contact System Administrator. There are no ProviderOne profiles associated with your roles".

When creating claim batch templates in UP1 Provider, the Template Name field is not allowing the use of special characters, like commas. 

When an OHP subscriber has LOTS of Tax IDs associated to the OHP subscriber account and accessing ProviderOne from OHP, they are receiving ProviderOne message "No User Profiles assigned to the User. Please contact HCA ProviderOne Security".

In upgraded ProviderOne when selecting the Print icon in the blue bar, the font in the print output changed.

Due to a large increase in Social Service claims, HCA was not able to make the Wednesday cut off time with one Social Service claim file with OFM.  Fortunately, OFM will process these claims by tonight.  As a result, the Social Service providers impacted will experience the following:

•          Social Service providers will not receive payment for these claims by Friday 4/5/2024.

•          These claims will not be available on the Friday 4/5/2024 Remittance Advice.

•          Social Service providers will receive payment for these claims by Monday 4/8/2024.

•          These claims will be available on the Friday 4/12/2024 Remittance Advice.

The reason for this issue is that DSHS implemented a rate change that resulted in approximately 30 times more than average claims volume. 

After a system update to the ProviderOne portal, the ability to update the NPI in the Service Facility field in the Other Claim Info tab was made inaccessible.

When a Pharmacy signs up in ProviderOne and has other taxonomies than the Pharmacy taxonomy of 3336 they are being sent to POS as a prescriber.  Pharmacies should not be using the Pharmacy domain as a Prescriber.  The Pharmacist should also be signed up in ProviderOne as a Prescriber.

Pharmacy domains will no longer be able to be used as a Prescriber in POS.
