What will not change with MITS?
• ODJFS will maintain its responsibility to administer the Ohio Medicaid program and related health care programs. As such ODJFS will maintain its commitment to assuring compliance with state and Federal laws and rules, cost efficiency, program integrity, and consumer access to quality care. • Medicaid covered services will not be changed by MITS. • Health care providers will still need to have an approved Medicaid provider agreement in order to participate in the program. • Providers will still submit claims for services provided to Medicaid consumers and receive payment for them. ODJFS will remain the primary point of contact regarding issue resolution for claims. • Providers will continue to be able to verify consumer eligibility through the new MITS Web Portal. • Specified Medicaid services will still need to be prior authorized before they can be approved for Medicaid payment. • Information on the Medicaid program, such as billing rules and coverage, will continue to be available
