PRISM Project Go-Live

Background

In April 2023, Utah Medicaid replaced the Utah Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS) with a new system called Provider Reimbursement Information System for Medicaid (PRISM). The Provider Enrollment component of PRISM was implemented in 2016 and updated in June 2020. After a soft go-live in January 2023, PRISM is now fully operational with the following components:

Managed Care Processes

Prior Authorization

Member Eligibility

Claims Adjudication

Claims Payments

Member Web Portal

Audit Studio (Fraud and Abuse System)

Claims Submission

With the new PRISM system, paper claims are no longer accepted. Any paper claims that are received will be securely destroyed and no longer returned to providers or their vendors.

There may be a learning curve to submitting claims for payment. To help provider offices with these changes, virtual calls have been scheduled so that providers can efficiently ask questions and get answers. Get the Provider Billing and Claims Q&A schedule.

Provider Trainings

To help providers with the system changes, new eLearning courses are available.
