As noted in the last post, the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) has digitized the process for filing a change of operator agreement in nursing homes. This new service, the Medicaid Information Technology System (MITS), went live on August 2, 2011.

ODJFS is now offering MITS training workshops beginning September 15 for Ohio Medicaid providers. These trainings will cover each claim type: Institutional (UB04), Professional (CMS 1500), AND Dental (ADA 2006). For more information on these webinar trainings, visit: http://jfs.ohio.gov/mits/MITS_Provider_Training_Fall_2011.pdf.

Professional and Institutional providers have the opportunity to attend on-location classroom training for MITS in Columbus. To view the schedule for these sessions and to register, go to: www.hp.com/go/ohioprovider_fall.

If you are not available during any of the offered trainings, here is list of support contacts should you encounter an issue while using MITS: http://jfs.ohio.gov/mits/Supplemental_ReleaseMITS_Contact_EXTERNAL.pdf
