RE: Patient 1st Program to End September 30, 2019

Alabama Coordinated Health Networks (ACHNs) will begin operation on October 1, 2019, and the Patient 1st Primary Care Case Management (PCCM) Program will end on September 30, 2019.

Important Dates to Remember:
July 15, 2019 Last day that DXC will accept Patient 1st Enrollment Agreements
August 14, 2019 Last day that a PMP may add or remove a recipient to or from their patient roster
October 4, 2019 Last day that a PMP will receive Patient 1st adjustments (first checkwrite in October)

If you have any questions about the Patient 1st program, please contact Latonda Cunningham at 334-353-4122 or email her at Latonda.cunningham@medicaid.alabama.gov.

Prepare Now for the ACHN Program:
Schedule appointments as soon as possible with those patients on your panel, especially those that have not been seen in the previous 2 years, in order to ensure your provided services are considered when patients are attributed in October 2019.

If you have questions about the ACHN program, please email: ACHN@medicaid.alabama.gov and/or you may review ACHN information on the website at the following link: https://www.medicaid.alabama.gov/content/2.0_Newsroom/2.7_Special_Initiatives/2.7.6_ACHN.aspx.
