Beginning January 1, 2026, Acentra will reduce turnaround times to 10 days for pended cases and 72 hours for expedited cases, with incomplete expedited requests now resulting in rejection. Expedited reviews only apply when delays could seriously impact a member’s life, health, function, or create risk of severe pain or emergency. A new Member Portal will launch, allowing Medicaid recipients to view authorizations and submit appeal documents. Providers are encouraged to use the Atrezzo Portal for faster, easier documentation submission and case communication. For more details see the attached newsletter above.
