ATTENTION ALL PROVIDERS

Effective January 1, 2026, all providers must have a Medicaid number for each service/location where they provide services. If you do not have a Medicaid number for each of the services you provide prior to January 1, 2026, you cannot provide services or receive payment from managed care organizations (MCO�s) or IRIS (Include, Respect, I Self-Direct).

You can find information & trainings regarding this new requirement here: https://www.forwardhealth.wi.gov/WIPortal/cms/public/ltc/provider_enrollment.htm

ATTENTION REMITTANCE USERS:

The remit portal might be displaying duplicate remittances for payments issued on 2/4/2025 and 02/11/2025, with the duplicate remittance(s) displaying on 2/18/2025. This means the same remittance with matching check amounts and transaction numbers might be listed twice. You can ignore the second listing. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused.

Claims Review Process

Review / Adjustment

Review/Adjustment is the first level review of a processed claim whenever a provider does not agree with the outcome and feels the claim warrants an adjustment.

Review/Adjustment requests can be submitted by mail or fax. Review/Adjustment requests may also be made over the phone by calling Customer Service at (866) 937-2786.

If, after appealing to Community Care, you are not satisfied with Community Care’s response to your original appeal OR if Community Care fails to respond to the appeal within 45 days, you have the right to appeal to Wisconsin Department of Health and Services (DHS) regarding the payment or non-payment of services. DHS will not consider your appeal if you do not first submit it to Community Care. You must submit appeals to the DHS in writing within 60 days of Community Care's final decision, or in the case of no response, within 60 days from the end of the 45-daytimeline allotted to Community Care.

All provider appeal requests to DHS must:
