Delaware Medicaid: what Delaware practices need to know
Delaware Medicaid operates through the Diamond State Health Plan managed care program (and DSHP Plus for long-term services), with plans such as Highmark Health Options and AmeriHealth Caritas Delaware.
Delaware's small geography means most practices serve the whole state — and both DSHP plans — from one site, which our per-plan setup handles cleanly.
Enrollment, credentialing and the rest of the payer mix
Delaware Medicaid enrollment and revalidation are tracked on the same register as Medicare (PECOS) and commercial credentialing through CAQH — see provider enrollment. Alongside Medicaid, Delaware practices bill Medicare, Medicare Advantage and commercial plans (UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Cigna and the state's Blue plan among them); each is configured with its own authorization, filing and appeal rules in our medical billing services workflow.
How we work with Delaware practices
We are a remote billing team: eligibility is verified before visits, charges are entered and submitted daily, denials are worked through denial management, and you see the same reporting we manage by — AR aging, denial categories and collections by payer, including Delaware Medicaid performance on its own line.
Choosing a medical billing company in Delaware
Evaluating medical billing companies in Delaware means looking closely at Delaware Medicaid billing through the Diamond State Health Plan. Delaware Medicaid, administered by the Division of Medicaid and Medical Assistance, is mandatory managed care: most members sit in Diamond State Health Plan with one of three MCOs — AmeriHealth Caritas Delaware, Delaware First Health or Highmark Health Options — while long-term services run through Diamond State Health Plan Plus. Gainwell Technologies, the state's fiscal agent, runs the DMAP provider portal behind the programme. Ask a billing partner which of the three plans they bill most, how they handle plan-specific authorization rules, and whether DSHP-Plus billing is genuinely in their scope.
Medicare claims for Delaware providers are processed by Novitas Solutions, Jurisdiction L. DSHP-Plus deserves specific attention: it is a mandatory managed-care programme covering nursing facility and home- and community-based services, from personal care to respite, and its billing rules differ sharply from acute-care DSHP claims. A medical billing company in Delaware that treats both programmes as one workflow will generate avoidable denials. The best medical billing services in Delaware are the ones that separate plan and programme performance in reporting. Elite Bill Care focuses on up to 30% denial reduction and works inside your practice's own EHR.
Frequently asked questions
Do you bill Delaware Medicaid as well as commercial plans?
Yes. Delaware Medicaid is configured with its own enrollment, authorization and appeal rules, and commercial, Medicare and Medicare Advantage billing run in the same workflow — one team, one report.
We are a small Delaware practice. Is outsourcing proportionate?
Usually yes — the state and payer rules are the same size for a solo practice as for a group, while the billing staff is not. Start with a free consultation, or a billing audit if you want evidence first.
What should Delaware practices look for in a medical billing company?
Look for a team that bills all three Diamond State Health Plan MCOs — AmeriHealth Caritas Delaware, Delaware First Health and Highmark Health Options — plus DSHP-Plus long-term care billing, and knows Novitas Solutions' Jurisdiction L rules for Medicare. Elite Bill Care works inside your own EHR and reports each plan separately.
What is DSHP-Plus and how is it billed differently?
DSHP-Plus is Delaware's mandatory managed-care programme for long-term services and supports, covering nursing facility care and home- and community-based services such as personal care and respite. Claims follow the member's MCO and the programme's own authorization rules rather than standard DSHP billing, and we configure DSHP-Plus as its own workflow so those claims are not processed like acute-care claims.
