                                                                             continued processing of Medicaid pass through claims for therapeutic foster care (S5145) and
                                                                             provisionally-licensed services (H codes). The following changes have been put in place:

                                                                                   As of 7/1/12 date of service (DOS), all ValueOptions authorizations that currently exist
                                                                                    under Wake’s Medicaid Provider Number (MPN) 3404931 will be changed to be authorized
                                                                                    under The Durham Center (now Alliance Behavioral Healthcare) number MPN 3404922.
                                                                                   As Alliance is a divested agency and is ATYPICAL with the Division of Medical
                                                                                    Assistance (DMA), we do not have an NPI number. You can only use the MPN 3404922.
                                                                                   All future authorization requests must be under Alliance’s number.
                                                                                   Claims that contain a DOS prior to 7/1/12 must still be processed under Wake’s MPN
                                                                                    3404931. Alliance is in the process of moving the administrative handing of these claims but
                                                                                    that will not change the current authorization that is in place. It will only change the entity
                                                                                    that pays you, the provider.
                                                                                   Alliance is working with DMA and CSC, the entity contracted to do provider enrollment
                                                                                    with DMA, to change the MPN information for The Durham Center and Wake LME to

                                                                                    how you bill your claim. As soon as we can confirm that the change has been made we will
                                                                                    notify the providers.
