Summary
South Carolina DHHS is reminding Medicaid providers to safeguard enrollment information, login credentials, and provider identifiers to prevent fraudulent billing and unauthorized account changes. Providers must limit access to authorized personnel, keep enrollment current, review claims for irregularities, and report any suspected compromises immediately.
Action Required
Immediately: Review and restrict access to Medicaid enrollment information to authorized personnel only. Verify all enrollment information is current and accurate. Implement routine reviews of claims, remittance advice, and correspondence to identify irregularities. Report any suspected compromise by calling (888) 289-0709, option 4, or fraud via (888) 364-3224. Billing managers should ensure all staff understand these security requirements.
