Good morning all – well, according to the website, next Wednesday, 2/19, is the official “switch to Optum” day in Minnesota for VA claims.  Are you ready?  I’m hearing varied responses as I chat with members around the state.

 

I wanted to be sure you know about this website:

https://provider.vacommunitycare.com/tpa-ap-web/?navDeepDive=VACCN%20publicProviderHomeDefaultContent

 

I suspect you do, but on the off chance that some might not have seen it, I thought I’d share. 

 

Please report in as you make the switch to let us know how it’s going - 

 

Thanks, and good luck!
