As communicated on February 23, 2024, Change Healthcare is experiencing a network interruption related to a cyber security issue. This is a national issue affecting health care systems and Medicaid programs in many states, including Maine.
On March 7 and 8, 2024, MaineCare held a two-part, online public meeting with its vendor, Guidehouse, to present the recommended draft rate methodology and rationale for NFs. Interested parties asked questions and made public comments during these forums.

With the new Evergreen system rollout, previous authorizations with a prefix of “EIS” have been replaced by new authorizations with a prefix of “LTS.”
Our current Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) 837 file was developed with a max of 15 characters for authorization IDs. The new LTS authorization IDs have a max of 17 characters. When submitting 837 claims, providers are reporting that the last two characters of the authorization ID are getting cut off, resulting in denied claims with the “UM not found” edit.
