This morning the Maryland Department of Health (MDH) shared this updated memo regarding the security incident and its impact on provider payments.
Per this memo: “only claims submitted prior to the system shutdown on 12/5/2021 will be included in this weekend’s (12/12/2021) MMIS provider payment cycle. Claims submitted on or after 12/5/2021 will not be included, and providers will not receive payment for those claims. This also means that there will be no payment in the upcoming remittance advice of 12/11/2021 for LTSS Maryland providers.”
As a reminder, please see this 12/9 letter from MDH regarding Medicaid provider payment disruption regarding the recent cybersecurity incident.
This letter was also distributed on 12/9 by MDH regarding the recent security incident and its impact on provider operations.
As we reported on Monday, and as has been reported in the media, the MDH website was compromised in a cyberattack over the weekend. MDH continues to navigate operations with an abundance of caution as the investigation surrounding the cyberattack is ongoing.
