UHC Community Plan Requires CHAMPS Enrollment
In case you haven't heard, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan (Medicaid) is now requiring all new providers to be enrolled in CHAMPS, due to State policy changes. They warn that failure to enroll could cause unnecessary delays in payment. This applies to both rendering and ordering/referring providers that are servicing Medicaid members. As they receive rosters from Lakeland Care, they will validate each new provider to ensure they are enrolled in CHAMPS. If the provider is not found in CHAMPS, Lakeland Care will notify your office.
