Direct Deposit Requirement

The last paper check mailed will be the one for the October 22, 2010 financial cycle (dated November 5, 2010). All providers who currently do not have direct deposit of their reimbursement checks must complete an Application for Provider Direct Deposit form to have their reimbursement directly deposited to their bank or savings account.

Elimination of Paper Remittance Advices

Effective November 1, 2010, all MO HealthNet provider remittance advices must be retrieved through electronic media. Paper RA’s will no longer be mailed. The last paper RA will be for the October 22, 2010 financial cycle.

While some providers utilize an electronic HIPAA 835 transaction to receive their RA, others use the MO HealthNet Web portal at www.emomed.com to retrieve their RA. Whether or not you currently use the MO HealthNet Web portal to retrieve your RA, all current and aged RA’s are available. In order to access the MO HealthNet Web portal, you are required to complete an online application to obtain a user ID and password. Once obtained, you can begin the process immediately to retrieve your current or aged RA’s.
