Waystar: Erroneous Claim Rejections — Medicaid Ohio (SKOH0) and Affiliated Payers

Waystar has made us aware that on Tuesday, May 2, 2023, Ohio Medicaid Enterprise System (OMES) EDI implemented a change which caused claims to erroneously reject for E181 — Invalid affiliation between Rendering and Billing provider.

The issue was caught immediately and reversed on Wednesday, May 3, 2023. Claims submitted during the duration between May 2, 2023, 8:00 PM Eastern Time (ET) through May 3, 2023, 5:00 PM ET would have received rejects for invalid Rendering and Billing provider affiliation in error.
