Tip of the Week
Claim Processing Schedule – FY 2010
June 29, 2009
The provider claim processing schedule has been updated for state fiscal year 2010, which begins July 1, 2009. The schedule lists the dates the cycles are run and their corresponding check dates.
Provider reimbursement checks are mailed or directly deposited into a provider's account twice each month, the 5th and the 20th. If either date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or state holiday, the check will be mailed or directly deposited the following working day.
MO HealthNet Division encourages providers who receive paper checks to apply for direct deposit. Provider checks are not forwarded if there is a wrong address on file. With direct deposit, the check is deposited into the appropriate account on the check date.
