12/29/2025

Dear Provider,

Thank you for your continued partnership with Wellcare. As you know, we are committed to continuously evaluating and improving overall Payment Integrity solutions as required by State and Federal governing entities. We are writing today to inform you of changes to existing review criteria that will go into place on or after 08/01/26.

Description of Changes

Lines of Business

Home Health & Skilled Nursing Facility – New Audit Program:
This program is a comprehensive medical record audit to validate the services billed and reimbursed are accurately documented in the provider’s medical records in accordance to policy CC.PI.11 – Payment Integrity Vendor Post Payment Audits (Home Health, SNF and DME).

Centene Payment Integrity will implement a post-payment audit for a select sample of network claims each month. To support this process, Wellcare will use an approved vendor, Performant, to complete these audits.
Providers who have a claim selected for post-payment audit will receive written notice of the audit and be asked to supply medical record documentation to Performant to substantiate the services associated with the claim.
