Each December, Fulcrum provides an annual provider communication to the network, informing providers about upcoming changes, important deadlines, available resources, and more.

This communication is available to you electronically on the home page of Fulcrum's Provider Portal.

If you have any questions about the material included in the communication, please contact providerservices@fulcrumhealthinc.org.

The federal No Surprises Act requires providers and health plans to verify the accuracy of provider contact information every 90 days.

In preparation of this requirement, it is necessary for all network providers to complete the following steps:

1. Log into Fulcrum’s Provider Portal.
2. Simply select the Demographic Updates tab on the home page.
3. Review your current demographics on all clinic locations.
4. Add or edit any information that needs to be updated.
5. If no changes, no action is necessary at this time.

Please complete these steps no later than January 15th, 2024.

The 21st Century Cures Act requires states to enroll all Medicaid providers.

Providers who are contracted to provide services to Medicaid members are expected to enroll with Minnesota Health Care Programs (MHCP).

Enrolling with Minnesota health Care Programs (MHCP):

Effective Jan. 1, 2024, the amount of the tax imposed on health care providers under Minn. Stat. § 295.52 (known as the “MinnesotaCare Tax”) is changing from 1.6% to 1.8% of gross revenues.

As a result, the portion of provider reimbursement that represents payment for providers’ MinnesotaCare Tax expense will be adjusted accordingly, as applicable, effective for dates of service beginning Jan. 1, 2024.
