PBJ is due into CMS by August 15th. Be sure to have your data validated and submitted on or before this date. Some positions that you may want to ensure that you are submitting: Medical Director, Pharmacy Consultant, Therapy, and Dietitian, along with your other standard positions.

We continue to stay in contact with state leadership with regards to the conversion back to KDHE processing Medicaid applications. They have shared that they are on track and have begun to identify a small pool of candidates to start with so they can ensure their processes are nailed down before proceeding with the next group. If you get word that you are part of this group, please let me know how it goes.

As always, our Reimbursement Specialist is available to assist you with reimbursement-related questions. Just email Josh Johnson.
