BCBSND will soon require the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) assigned provider Medicaid ID on claims. This additional data point will help ensure your claims are processed accurately.
If the information is not submitted, the paper claim will be returned. If submitted electronically the claim submission will be rejected on an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) front-end edit.
Your Medicaid ID number should have been provided to you via letter from the DHHS. If you are unsure what your provider Medicaid ID number is, please contact the DHHS at (701) 277-6999 for assistance.
The effective date of this change will be announced via an upcoming HCN article.
