The most common Alabama Medicaid denials seen in Montgomery 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 Montgomery visit is decisive for clean first-pass payment. Across Montgomery's 12 organizations, even a few percentage points of MCO-routing error compounds into material rework.
