Ohio Medicaid Changes Coming: Important Updates & Training Reminders

 


The Ohio Department of Medicaid (ODM) is in the process of major administrative and program updates and changes. Many of these will directly impact physician practices. Earlier this week, ODM provided the following information and training opportunities to ensure you are up-to-date on what you need to do and know.


Registration is now open for the PNM module training!

Provider Network Management (PNM) training sessions begin on October 24 in preparation for exciting changes coming on December 1. Registration is available now in the Learning Management System (LMS), Absorb. The training schedule has been posted and is available on the Next Generation website.  

Training module topics will include the following: 


Next Generation of Ohio Medicaid Refresher Training 

If you were unable to attend training for October 1 launch topics—sign on and setup, new enrollment, updates and re-validations—virtual refresher sessions are happening now through October 27. Visit the October training schedule to view specific sessions available. In addition, Stage Two training resources—job aids, desk reference guides, online tutorials—can be accessed at: https://medicaid.ohio.gov/resources-for-providers/nextgeneration-pnm/nextgeneration-pnm


LMS Registration 

In preparation for the December 1 launch, we are offering a variety of training options including self-paced, virtual, and in-person training options. Absorb, the Learning Management System (LMS), is where you will access the self-paced training and sign up for the virtual and/or in-person sessions. If you do not have an account in the LMS, it’s important that you create one to ensure you have access to all training sessions, answer forms, and a variety of PNM resources. Access the job aid and follow the steps to create your account and register for training.
