📢 Medicaid Update – October 1

We are aware that today’s Medicaid fee schedule reflects an 8% reduction for 99% of OT codes, despite prior notice indicating only a 3% cut. NCOTA recognizes this discrepancy and is actively seeking clarification.

👉 We strongly encourage providers to contact the Medicaid Provider Ombudsman at:
📧 medicaid.providerombudsman@dhhs.nc.gov

When reaching out, please reference a claim with an adjudication showing the 8% cut, as this documentation will be essential in demonstrating the issue. Please note that a small number of OT codes still reflect the 3% reduction.

We sincerely appreciate your continued advocacy during this challenging time. NCOTA will share definitive updates as soon as they become available.

For additional questions about the fee schedule changes or availability, please contact the DHB Provider Reimbursement Team at:
📧 medicaid.providerreimbursement@dhhs.nc.gov
