Summary
Connecticut Medicaid (HUSKY Health) has implemented a new online authorization portal specifically for requesting Durable Medical Equipment (DME) authorizations. This replaces previous DME authorization processes and requires providers to use the new digital system.
Action Required
Immediately: Staff handling DME orders must transition to the new HUSKY Health online authorization portal for all Connecticut Medicaid DME requests. Update workflow procedures to use the digital portal instead of phone or fax authorization requests. Train relevant staff on the new portal system to avoid authorization delays.
