OMAHA, Neb. – Molina Healthcare of Nebraska is “briefly postponing” its planned Sept. 1 launch of a new DME Navigator platform operated by CareCentrix and Optum for members in all lines of business.
“Additional details and a new timeline for implementation will be announced soon,” Molina stated in a July 28 update. “Providers should continue conducting business with Molina as you do today, including the processes, procedures and systems used today to submit claims, prior authorizations and other administrative functions.”
Stakeholders like the Midwest Association for Medical Equipment Services (MAMES) have been working to raise awareness of the concerns home medical equipment (HME) providers have with the program.
“MAMES will continue to keep members up to date on what we hear,” the association stated in an email bulletin. “As in the rest of our states, we’re looking at these pauses as positive developments. However, it is just a temporary reprieve. We are continuing our advocacy efforts in Nebraska, as well as Iowa and Wisconsin.”
