Why Being Statewise Matters

Navigating Medicaid Rules in Every State

Medicaid can be a maze, and it’s a different maze in every state. One-way signs in Texas are U-turns in Michigan. What flies in California might get flagged in Louisiana. For providers serving people through Medicaid-funded programs—whether IDD, pediatric, or personal care services—the difference between getting paid and getting penalized often comes down to understanding the fine print at the state level.

That’s where we come in. At Statewise, we’ve made it our mission to simplify the complexity of Medicaid—one state at a time.

One Medicaid Program, 50+ Interpretations

Every provider knows Medicaid is a federal-state partnership. But if you’re delivering care across state lines—or even just trying to make sense of shifting guidance in your own state—you’ve seen how different things can be.

• EVV requirements look different in Ohio than they do in Arizona.
  
  

• Billing codes can shift without notice in states like New York.
  
  

• Prior authorizations, provider enrollment, audit timelines—all of it is up to the state Medicaid agency.
  
  

Even if you’re doing everything “right” at the federal level, you can still end up with denials, recoupments, or worse.

And that’s what makes being Statewise so essential.

What Does It Mean to Be “Statewise”?

Being Statewise isn’t just our name—it’s a way of thinking. It means:

• You’re not guessing what the rules are in your state—you’ve got the right info, at the right time, in your workflow.
  
  

• You’re not chasing paperwork after a denial—you’ve built Medicaid compliance into every step of the process.
  
  

• You’re not using generic tools—you’re using purpose-built software that actually speaks your state’s language.
  
  

We work directly with state-specific Medicaid policies, so whether you're billing for ISS services in Texas or tracking PCA authorizations in Minnesota, you're staying ahead—not playing catch-up.
