With Tri West, only the Skilled visits were billed, the HHA and HMKR still went to the VA.  Does anyone know if all visits will be going to Optum or just the Skilled visits?

 

Thank you,

Marnie

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:

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!
