Providers who offer, order, refer, or prescribe services for patients with these coverage types must take the following steps to comply with the requirements:
  • Enroll every service location where they see members with the Department of Human Services (DHS).
  • Obtain a PROMISe ID (also known as a Medicaid ID or MPI) and revalidate these locations as required every five years.
  • Log in to PROMISe to check the revalidation dates of each service location and submit revalidation applications at least 60 days prior to the revalidation dates.
  • Enroll any service locations that are not listed in PROMISe.

      Review Medical Assistance Bulletin 99-21-01 and Medical Assistance Bulletin 99-22-11 to learn more about the reinstatement of provider enrollment requirements.

      Contact DHS with questions on provider enrollment, revalidation, enrollment fees, site visits, and criminal background checks. You can reach DHS at 1-800-537-8862 (option 2, option 4, option 2).
