RE:  Alabama Medicaid Postpones Resumption of EPSDT Referral Requirement

After further review, the Agency will not resume the EPSDT referral requirement as referenced in the July 27, 2021 Provider ALERT (https://medicaid.alabama.gov/alert_detail.aspx?ID=15537).

This allowance will continue through the conclusion of the COVID-19 national emergency, or any expiration date noticed by the Alabama Medicaid Agency through a subsequent ALERT.

For questions relating to the EPSDT referral process, email Jean.Wackerle@medicaid.alabama.gov. If you have questions about filing claims relating to the EPSDT referral requirement, contact the Gainwell Provider Assistance Center at 1-888-688-7989.
