The UCare situation has been a lot for providers to follow.

Between the receivership, rehabilitation plan, outstanding claims, and payment timelines, there has been plenty of confusion around what is happening and what practices should be doing next. The good news is that there has been movement. A rehabilitation plan has been put in place, and providers are starting to see payments come through for certain dates of service.

That is a positive step.

But it does not mean practices should stop paying attention.

When something like this happens, it is easy to assume that once a plan is approved, the rest will work itself out. In reality, billing teams still need to watch the details closely. Which claims have been paid? Which dates of service are still outstanding? Are payments matching what was expected? Are there claims that need to be resubmitted, followed up on, or tracked separately?

Those are the pieces that can fall through the cracks if no one is actively monitoring them.

For practices that have been waiting on UCare payments, now is the time to make sure your internal records are clean and your claim follow-up process is organized. Do not just look at the total dollars coming in. Look at what those dollars are tied to. Match payments back to dates of service. Watch your aging. Keep notes on what has been resolved and what still needs attention.

It is also worth making sure your team knows where to find the official updates. Receivership and rehabilitation language can feel technical, but those documents matter. They give practices a better sense of what stage the process is in and what may happen next.

At TNT, this is the kind of thing we keep an eye on for our clients because it directly impacts cash flow. Billing is not just about sending claims out. It is about following the full path of the claim and making sure nothing gets lost along the way.

If your practice has UCare claims still sitting unpaid, do not assume they are being handled just because the broader process is moving.

Check them. Track them. Follow up where needed.

And if you are not sure what to look for, it may be time to bring in someone who can help you sort through it.
