As a reminder, DMA Joint Communication Bulletin #111 indicates that CNDS number field will be mandatory beginning July 1, 2015. This will become a mandatory field for all update interviews starting Wednesday, July 1, 2015.
For Medicaid recipients, the CNDS number will be the same as the Medicaid ID.
For individuals not enrolled in Medicaid, Partners will need to provide the CNDS number when an individual is admitted to an NC-TOPPS required service.
If the individual is Medicaid-eligible, the CNDS number IS the Medicaid ID number. If he/she is IPRS only, NC Tracks creates a CNDS number, and the LME/MCO contact person will assist with the number. To obtain the number, please send a confidential email through the ZixMail portal to
Cindy Combs --ccombs@partnersbhm.org.. In the email, include the individual's name, social security number and date of birth. You may also contact Cindy at 336-527-3209.
Should you have any questions about this or a need for other NCTOPPS information please feel free to contact Sheila Wall at swall@partnersbhm.org or call 704-884-2560.

IRIS users will have full access to the Live/Production site on July 1 during the UAT move. Only the training site will be unavailable on July 1. The Live/Production site will be unavailable for all users on July 2 beginning at 1 p.m.
An email will be sent to LME-MCOs when IRIS becomes available on July 2, and that information will be passed along to providers via an Alert.
