Florida Medicaid transitions to EDS with minor bumps

Florida Medicaid made a fiscal agent transition from ACS to EDS (Electronic Data Systems) on July 1st 2008. With this change came a few minor bumps which seems normal with any type of conversion of this scale but it's good for all medical practices that bill electronically to be aware of.

First issue is that reports are reflecting claims accepted but in reality if they are missing NPI numbers they are getting kicked out and are not being processed. For more information on this please reference Florida Medicaid Claim Rejections

Second issue is that ERA (electronic remittance advice) are not getting transmitted through clearinghouses effectively. If you are not receiving your ERA 835 files please log in to Florida Medicaids website and indicate an agent to receive 835 files (ERA). Florida Medicaid has indicated that medical providers have either not registered for the 835 file or they setup the roles incorrectly causing the ERA no files issue.
