                         MISSOURI MEDICAID PROVIDER ENROLLMENT INTRODUCTION

                                                                                       

The Provider Enrollment Unit is responsible for enrolling new providers and maintaining provider records for all Missouri Medicaid provider types.  There are approximately 60+ Medicaid provider types.  The Provider Enrollment staff is required to determine when new provider numbers are appropriate or when a current provider number is updated.  After the Missouri Medicaid provider number has been issued it must be used with all transactions pertaining to Medicaid.

 

At this time many applications are available via the Internet; paper applications for those providers are not accepted.  Provider Enrollment WILL NOT accept obsolete, faxed or copied paper enrollment forms, or reproduced Internet forms.  Any Medicaid enrollment form that has been duplicated or altered in any manner is automatically denied.

 

Provider numbers are confidential Missouri Medicaid provider numbers are not released to ANYONE by telephone, facsimile, or any electronic method. Medicaid provider numbers are not sent by mail to any address other than the provider address listed on the Missouri Medicaid Provider Enrollment master file. It is the PROVIDER'S responsibility to notify billing agents, clinics, groups, corporate offices, etc., of all pertinent information regarding the provider number.

 

It is the PROVIDER'S responsibility to ensure that their provider records are kept up to date.  The provider must report any changes to the Provider Enrollment Unit.  If the Provider Enrollment Unit is not properly informed of changes the provider number is made inactive.

 

Each Medicaid program has different enrollment requirements.  All providers of Missouri Medicaid must have a valid  participation agreement with the Missouri Department of Social Services (DSS), Division of Medical Services (DMS).  An investigation of the provider's professional background will be conducted pursuant to 13 CSR 70-3.020.  The validation of the participation agreement depends upon the Director of Social Services or his/her designee's acceptance of an application for enrollment.

 

Each provider of services to Missouri Medicaid recipients must enroll separately.

 

If you have questions or need assistance completing the enrollment forms, contact the Provider Enrollment Unit by e-mail at providerenrollment@dss.mo.gov .  For questions regarding billing, contact the Provider Communications Unit at 573-751-2896.  For questions regarding claim filing training, contact the Provider Education Unit at 573-751-6683.


                      MEDICAID PROVIDER ENROLLMENT APPLICATION PROCESS

 

Each provider application is reviewed and must go through the same audit process.

 

The application is processed in the date order received by the Provider Enrollment Unit. Paper applications that have been returned to the provider or Internet applications that are denied by e-mail are not processed as a priority.

 

When the provider number is issued, a letter stating the provider's name, address, provider number and effective date of approval is sent to the provider's physical address. The effective date of enrollment cannot be prior to the effective date of required program documents, such as license, certification etc. The Missouri Medicaid Provider Manuals are available at no charge via the Internet at www.dss.mo.gov/dms .  It is the provider's responsibility to notify their biller of their provider number and any other claim filing information or instructions.

 

Once a provider number is established, any future changes in the provider records must be submitted in writing to the Provider Enrollment Unit, include the provider name(s) and provider number(s), the requested change(s), a contact person and their phone number, and the original signature of the provider(s).  If the provider is licensed or certified by another state agency such as the Department of Health & Senior Services, Department of Mental Health, or Medicare, that agency must approve the changes prior to Provider Enrollment Unit approval.  New provider numbers are not issued for changes.  If the Provider Enrollment Unit is not properly informed of changes the provider number is made inactive.

 

New provider numbers are not issued for any type of changes.  Receiving new numbers from other agencies/sources does not constitute a new Medicaid provider number.  Payments go to the provider currently indicated on the Provider Enrollment Master File at the time the claim is processed.  The provider is responsible for, but not limited to: separating dates of service and payments, resubmitting denials, and submitting paper crossover claims for any Medicare/Medicaid services that do not crossover electronically, before and after the change is made to the Provider Enrollment Master File.  If a new provider number is issued in error due to change information being withheld at the time of application, the new provider number is made inactive, the existing provider number is updated, and you may be subject to sanctions.

 

If backdating the provider number is granted, this does not suspend the timely filing requirement for any claims, nor does it guarantee payment.  Claims submitted after backdating a provider number and are denied for timely filing are not considered for reimbursement.  An original claim must be received by the state agency within 12 months (365 days) from the date of service.  Medicare crossover claims must be received within 12 months from the date of service or 6 months from the date of Medicare's notice of disposition.
