835s to be Issued by Tax ID
Facilities and multiple provider practices that operate under one TIN will be
issued a single consolidated 835 RA. This process mirrors Medicaid’s payment
procedure for issuing one check or electronic fund transfer (EFT) per tax ID.
835 consolidation is necessary to balance transactions to the single payment
device.
Facilities and Multiple Provider Practices:
Where Do You Want Your Checks Sent?
To consolidate payments, facilities and multiple provider practices that operate
under one Tax ID number will be issued a single check delivered to one designated
location. Facilities and multiple provider practices should contact Trading Partner
Support at 1-800-215-8765 to identify their designated payment location.

» Back to Top MDCH Distributes Provider Manual on CD-ROM March 2004
Michigan Medicaid has converted its 1100+ page Provider Manual into a simple,
easy to navigate document on CD ROM. The CD, mailed March 3 to Medicaid providers,
delivers easy to access information on policy, procedures and billing. Effective
immediately, the electronic version of the Medicaid Provider Manual replaces
the paper version. Exceptions include Nursing Facilities and Medicaid Health
Plans sections. These topics will be addressed in the next Provider Manual Update.
Prior to using the new Medicaid Provider Manual it is recommended that providers
first read the related MDCH bulletin, the MDCH
