Medicaid Eligibility in AlphaMCS

Partners has received many calls in reference to Medicaid eligibility not loading in AlphaMCS when NC Tracks reflects otherwise. We are trying to resolve these issues as best possible.

Many of the issues are due to voided segments in NC Tracks. Partners’ Claims and/or Enrollment staff are not allowed to correct the voided segments in the AlphaMCS system.  Changes in consumer eligibility in AlphaMCS must come from the state Global Eligibility file.   In addition, county Department of Social Services will not allow Partners staff to discuss consumer eligibility due to HIPAA privacy concerns.  Providers who experience this issue need to contact the Department of Social Services handling the consumer’s Medicaid eligibility to correct the information in NCTracks.

If you have further questions about this matter, please contact Rhonda Colvard, Claims Manager at claims_department@partnersbhm.org or call 704-842-6486.
