Utah Medicaid and Sandy routing.
Utah Medicaid covers ot billing for eligible Utah beneficiaries, delivering most of that benefit through managed care organizations with a remaining fee-for-service population. The most common Utah Medicaid denials seen in Sandy are prior authorization missing or expired, plan-of-record mismatch (patient assigned to different MCO), medical necessity documentation insufficient, timely filing exceeded, and managed care vs FFS routing errors. Because each MCO credentials providers separately and enrollment runs 60-120 days from clean application, confirming plan assignment and credentialing status before the first Sandy visit is decisive for clean first-pass payment. Across Sandy's 6 organizations, even a few percentage points of MCO-routing error compounds into material rework.

Because Sandy carries 4.8 percent of Utah's ot billing organizations and ranks 2 of 3 in the state, its denial exposure scales with that footprint. In Sandy these are where ot billing margin is won or lost, so clean documentation, accurate plan assignment, and tight authorization tracking pay back fastest for the city's 6 ot billing organizations.
