ATTENTION HOSPITAL PROVIDERS: EFFECTIVE 12/14/12 MOTHER'S MEDICAID NUMBER REQUIRED FOR INITIAL PRECERT
OF LEGACY NEWBORNS

DHH is requesting that in order for Providers to begin the Precert process, initial newborn requests submitted to Legacy Medicaid will require the mother's Medicaid number to be included on the PCF01 form. The 13 digit Medicaid number area on the PCF01should remain as all zeros until the baby's Medicaid number is assigned. If submitting electronically through ePrecert, the mother's number should be typed in the text box area.

These requests will be rejected if the Provider fails to provide this information or if the mother is verified as having Bayou Health Plan coverage on the day of admit. Please visit www.lamedicaid.com
for the notice. If you have any questions please contact Molina Provider Relations (800) 473-2783 or (225) 924-5040.
