UPDATE: Revisions to the Comprehensive Billing Guide for Medicaid Managed Care Services- Version 36.0 |
| Date: |
August 3, 2026 |
The Illinois Medicaid Managed Care Organizations (MCOs), in collaboration with the Illinois Association of Medicaid Health Plans (IAMHP), have developed a Comprehensive Billing Guide for HealthChoice Illinois providers. This billing guide is designed to help providers who are contracted with the MCOs understand the general MCO billing requirements.
MCOs have different policies and procedures related to billing. With this manual, the MCOs have created a single source of information for all claims regardless of provider type.
As different sections of the Comprehensive Billing Guide are finalized and published, the Department will update providers via a provider notice by listing the revisions. Version 36.0 of the IAMHP Comprehensive Billing Manual has been released and posted here.
Updates in Version 36.0 include:
For general questions or feedback regarding the Comprehensive Billing Guide, please contact IAMHP. Questions regarding this notice may be directed to the Bureau of Managed Care at 217-524-7478 or the individual HealthChoice Illinois managed care plan.
