IMPORTANT UPDATE: Ohio Medicaid is upgrading its claims payment system as part of our Next Generation of Managed Care program. Regarding the Ohio Medicaid Enterprise System (OMES) phased implementation approach, we wanted to alert providers that the Provider Network Management (PNM) module and MITS will be down for maintenance on Tuesday, January 31, 2023 from 11:00am through Wednesday, February 1, 2023 at 7:00am. Effective February 1 at 7:00am, the new Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) solution and the Fiscal Intermediary (FI) will be operational. If you use PNM and MITS to conduct your Direct Data Entry Portal business, that functionality will also be available at 7:00am on February 1. If you add/update hospice data in the MITS portal after 7:00pm on Sunday, January 29, 2023, it will not be made available for claims processing until 7:00am on February 1.
