IHCP Announcement: Update on CoreMMIS Stabilization - Day 3

This week, the Indiana Health Coverage Programs (IHCP) implemented the CoreMMIS and the Provider Healthcare Portal (Portal). Launching a new system with more modern technology will result in major improvements but is also a major undertaking.

The Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) are aware that the new system has experienced some performance issues. It is their intention to resolve issues as quickly as possible. They also intend to keep the provider community aware of problems that have been identified and the progress being made to resolve them.

Please see the following synopsis for Day 3 of the rollout:

Eligibility verification:
Issue: Eligibility verification time frames
Actions taken: Monitoring of system performance continues.
Expected resolution: Eligibility verification response times appear to have stabilized; 93% of inquiries are currently being completed in under 10 seconds.

Call center:
Issues: Call center continues to experience high call volume.
Actions taken: All available staff are being utilized to take incoming calls and make outgoing return calls
Expected resolution: Providers are encouraged to take advantage of call center hours available outside the normal business day, when possible: Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. - 8 p.m., and Saturday, 8 a.m.- 1 p.m. Providers may also find answers to questions by visiting the Indiana CoreMMIS web page at indianamedicaid.com.

Actions: Providers can now submit PA requests through the Portal. We are working with CMCS to process PAs submitted by fax.
