Memo
Effective Date:

To:
All Providers and Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) Participating in the Virginia Medical Assistance Program
From:
Cheryl J. Roberts, Director Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS)

The purpose of this memorandum is to notify providers that Chapter 8 of the CCC+ Waiver Manual, which is titled “Service Authorization” has been updated to include general service authorization information on pages 1 through 14, with CCC Plus Waiver specifics beginning on page 14. In addition, updates were made to reflect current practices and to remove duplicative information.

To avoid disruption to claims payment through FFS and the MCOs providers must periodically check the DMAS provider portal, also known as the Provider Services Solution (PRSS), to ensure that the provider's enrollment, contact information, and license information is up to date, for all of the provider's respective service locations. Under federal rules, MCOs and DMAS are prohibited from paying claims to network providers who are not enrolled in PRSS. Additional information is provided on the MCO Provider Network Resources webpage and includes links to resources, tutorials and contact information to reach Gainwell with any provider enrollment or revalidation related questions. Dental providers should continue to enroll directly through the DMAS Dental Benefits Administrator, DentaQuest.
