for the covered service, and the consumer agrees to be liable and signs a written statement to that effect, prior to the service being rendered, and the provider explains to the consumer that the service is a covered Medicaid service and other Medicaid providers may render the service at no cost to the consumer.

Ohio Medicaid will now require that all claims list the name as the provider is enrolled in MITS and the National Provider Identifier (NPI) of the health care professional that ordered, referred or prescribed (ORP) the items or services. This information is required due to changes in federal and state law. If ORP information is not listed on a claim, the billing Medicaid provider will not receive reimbursement for their services. This means that some health care professionals that are not currently enrolled with Ohio Medicaid will need to submit an application. (OAC Rule 5160‐1‐17.9)
