The Licensing Specialist, in charge of secondary filings, is responsible for running reports from BLH and analyzing these Secondary Filings using a Tracker to ensure all are accounted for. The Secondary Filings Tracker includes license expiration dates, status of filing, method of license delivery to state, and follow up notes.  

This is a critical function in maintaining Medicaid provider enrollments as states can deactivate the enrollment if required documents are not received and their records updated timely. There is significant follow up involved to ensure the states have updated their records. This includes making phone calls to state Medicaid agencies and/or following up through email.

Primary Responsibilities:

• In order to maintain Medicaid provider enrollments for our owned pharmacies, the Government Programs licensing team is required to supply current Board of Pharmacy licenses, city/business licenses, and DEA. This is done in a variety of ways, ie:
  • Logging onto a portal and updating the expiration date and uploading the current license(s)
  • Faxing license to the state
  • Emailing license to the state
  • Sending paper license copies to the state
• Review all license notifications that are received via mail or email, ensuring that the license is accounted for on the Secondary Filings Tracker and the appropriate secondary filings are entered in BLH, and filing in the applicable pharmacy folder on the shared drive                
• Maintenance of the BLH database includes adding new records when additional Medicaid enrollments are approved, updating any dates based on information received from states, and running reports to confirm all required information is accurately noted in each record
• Review incoming emails regarding portal password resets, access the portals and reset the passwords and update the internal Portal Password Tracker
• Ensure the correct pharmacy license is provided to the state Medicaid agency including the correct pharmacy name and renewed expiration date. Verify the Medicaid ID, NPI and correct pharmacy name are included when sending pharmacy license to the state
