I hadn’t seen any further communication from the department via email that this week’s billing deadline had been extended (past yesterday’s extension) into next week, but below is the text that is posted on the
eMBS Application of the DODD portal. Thought I would pass this along…
DEC18C Deadline Extended eMBS will accept DEC18C billing until 12:00PM noon on Tuesday December 18th. In light of numerous technical difficulties this week, the window to enter waiver and TCM billing
into the eMBS application has been extended. All billing submitted December 6th – December 18th (noon) will be processed and assigned to the DEC18-C billing cycle for a payment date of December 28th.
Have a great weekend to all.

Subject: RE: Issues with MSS and DRA
We had a CPT meeting yesterday get cancelled by Hamilton County DDS because they couldn’t even move an individual back into a CPT site. These issues are having a significant effect on getting payment authorizations
and revisions processed at the county level.
But, at least this weekend the departments IT team did get the new Ohio ID Portal login process put in place. I just wish priority had been given to fixing the MSS/CPT issues.

The County Board Association reached out on this this afternoon. County Boards have been experiencing delays as well and have been working with DODD to rectify the problems, however they persist. They wanted
us to let you know that this is unfortunately slowing down payment authorizations. We will do what we can on our end to get this resolved.

Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing issues with MSS and the DRA that is putting you in that “bah humbug” mood?
Since Friday of last week it has been nearly impossible to access the systems and input actuals in the DRA and generate files. Up until today, all I would get when logging in were “timeout” error messages on anything I tried to do. I
just spent 20 minutes to input one single DRA site for two weeks of hours.
Any pressure that OPRA could put on DODD to once and for all resolve these issues would be greatly appreciated. The constant “updates” that the department has been performing weekly seems to just be making things worse. I honestly no
longer believe the department recognizes the time burden this is placing on providers who would simply like to be paid for the services they have already delivered. I have found that if you send an email to
itscallcenter@dodd.ohio.gov you only get a generic “auto” response with no follow up if your problem has been corrected.
Sorry for my venting, Ebenezer Scrooge will now move onto something else to finish out today…..
