LTC providers with questions regarding “Rejected” status codes should email the appropriate Department of Human Services (DHS) Medical Field Operations (MFO) LTC office that serves the county in which the LTC setting is located. The request must include the name of the LTC facility, a facility contact name, phone number, email and TAN(s). Please enter in the Subject line “TAN status inquiry”. In order to ensure efficiency, each inquiry should be limited to one (1) facility and with a list of TANs for that facility.
