The Utah OIG, in partnership with Utah Medicaid representatives, have completed the 2016 Statewide Medicaid Provider Training circuit. For 2016, a total of 29 Provider Training Sessions were completed throughout the State of Utah. Five new locations were added to the 2016 schedule to include the Intermountain Medical Center in Murray, Lakeview Hospital in Bountiful, St. Mark’s Hospital in Salt Lake City, Bear River Health Department in Tremonton, and the Delta Community Hospital in Delta. Training topics included helpful tips on billing, common billing errors, important changes to the Medicaid program, new updates to the provider portal, and updates on the Provider Reimbursement Information System for Medicaid (PRISM) project. OIG specific topics included background on the creation of the OIG office, tools and resources used in the oversight of the Medicaid program, local and national trends, lessons learned, guidance and a focus on continued partnership development with Medicaid and the provider community.
In addition to partnering with Utah Medicaid for the Statewide Provider Training, the Utah OIG also provides training and guidance to providers and Medicaid representatives on an as needed or requested basis. Providers are welcome to reach out to the OIG to request guidance, training and support on various Medicaid-OIG operations that further the OIG mission to support and protect taxpayer dollars and resources as intended by the legislature in creating the office.
