URGENT Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) Claims Message: EVV claims submitted through Sandata after noon Pacific Time last Thursday, April 4, 2024, were received for processing by Gainwell on Monday, April 8, 2024. As a result, payment of the impacted claims will be unfortunately delayed by one week and paid April 19, 2024, instead of April 12, 2024. No action is required on your part. Nevada Medicaid is working with Sandata to avoid this happening again in the future and apologizes for the inconvenience this payment delay causes during this period of EVV claim submission challenges because of the Change Healthcare cyber security event.

Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) Claim Update: Providers using Sandata for claims submission are advised to allow 24 hours after claim submission for claim details to be visible in the Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS). Please be advised that claims must be submitted before noon Pacific Time on Fridays to be included in the following weeks’ remittance advice.

URGENT NOTIFICATION: Physician Administered Drug (PAD) claims may be experiencing a host eligibility error. The impacted claims will be reprocessed automatically. No action is needed by providers.
