Practices without a supplemental data feed or EMR integration are advised to submit medical records through Availity, the secure Meridian provider portal, or the secure Wellcare provider portal. The last day to submit medical records for 2026 performance is January 11, 2027. If you encounter barriers, please email ILHEDISOps@mhplan.com. Interoperability solutions | | | |
