                         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.

PROVIDER CHANGES:

 

Provider wishing to make a change to an existing provider number must submit a written explanation of the change to the Provider Enrollment Unit, Division of Medical Services, PO Box 6500, Jefferson City MO 65102.  The provider name(s), provider number(s), and original signature of the provider(s) must be included with the written notification.  New provider numbers are not issued for, but not limited to these changes:

 

name change

change of ownership/operator - whether or not it is the same practice location

address change

Federal Tax Identification Number change at same practice location

change from Social Security Number to Federal Tax Identification Number at same practice location

change from Federal Tax Identification Number to Social Security Number at same practice location

any changes occurring on an individual's provider number

payment name or address change

 

Once the written notice is received, the Provider Enrollment Unit determines what action needs to be taken.  Some changes can be made from written correspondence if the correspondence contains the original signature of the provider, others require an update application be completed.


MEDICARE AND MEDICAID

Medicaid providers must enroll and bill Medicaid in the same manner they enroll and bill Medicare in order for Medicare/Medicaid claims to crossover electronically and be reimbursed appropriately. Medicaid providers must enroll at the physical practice location the Medicare number is issued.

 

Physicians, APNs, and CRNAs are no longer required to enroll at each Medicare or Medicaid practice location. However, they are still required to submit Medicare documentation so the claims can crossover automatically.

 

It is the provider's responsibility to file claims to Medicaid for any Medicare/Medicaid crossover claims that do not crossover automatically; wait 60-90 days before submitting claims.  Duplicate billing of crossover claims is considered Medicaid fraud.

 

Missouri Medicaid has a contract with several carriers to automatically crossover Medicare/Medicaid claims.  If you have a Medicare number with more than one carrier please submit documentation for all carriers, separate Medicaid provider numbers may be necessary in some cases.

 

Some Medicaid providers are only permitted to be reimbursed for crossover claims on QMB-ONLY recipients; therefore not all of their Medicare claims are paid.

 

SEPARATE MEDICARE NUMBERS FOR EACH OFFICE LOCATIONS:

If services are provided to Missouri Medicaid recipients at different office locations that have separate Medicare numbers for each location, separate Medicaid numbers must be issued for all providers and the providers must bill under the appropriate Medicare and Medicaid number for each location. This applies to all providers except: physicians, APNs, and CRNAs; these provider types are issued only one provider number.

 

SAME MEDICARE NUMBER FOR MORE THAN ONE OFFICE LOCATION:

If services are provided to Missouri Medicaid recipients at different office locations and all locations are approved by Medicare to use one Medicare number, then all providers must enroll with Medicaid in the same manner and bill with one Medicare and Medicaid number.  Since all offices are permitted to use the same Medicare number in this instance, all providers must enroll at the physical location the Medicare number is issued even if they do not practice at that location.

 

CLINIC MEDICARE NUMBERS

Medicare/Medicaid services that have been issued a Clinic Medicare number must automatically crossover to a Clinic Medicaid provider number.  If the clinic is not enrolled the Medicare/Medicaid claims does not crossover automatically.  Physician, Advanced Practice Nurse, CRNA, Podiatrist, and Diabetes Self-Management individuals must enroll and bill as Medicaid performing providers.  All other provider members must enroll and bill under their individual provider name and number.

 

Kansas City MO Medicare/Medicaid carrier crossover claims:

When the clinic is issued a Medicare number, each individual provider is also issued a number as a member of the clinic.  The clinic Medicare number is three digits followed by zeros and sometimes an alpha character.  The member of the clinic is issued a performing provider number. The Medicare number will be the clinic's first three digits followed by at least four digits indicating their individual Medicare number with the clinic.  The Medicare clinic and performing provider numbers are matched to the Medicaid clinic and performing provider numbers.  The Medicare claims crossover automatically and are reimbursed under the Clinic Medicaid provider number.  Therefore, if the clinic is not enrolled, an individual member of the clinic who is providing Medicare/Medicaid services is not enrolled, or, if the Medicare number is not showing on the Medicaid provider enrollment file, the Medicare numbers cannot be matched and crossover claims are not reimbursed. 

 

Medicare Services (BC/BS Arkansas) crossover claims:

When the clinic is issued a "Clinic or Group Medicare number" (i.e. 000012345), each individual is also issued a number as a member of the clinic, in this instance the clinic must enroll in order for the Medicare/Medicaid claims to crossover automatically.  The Medicare claims crossover and pay under the clinic Medicaid provider number.  The performing providers are not verified during this process, therefore, a list of all members must be submitted and all members of the clinic must be enrolled with Medicaid or a clinic Medicaid provider number is not issued.  If the clinic enrolls but each member is not enrolled and the clinic receives Medicare/Medicaid payment for non-enrolled members of the clinic, it is considered Medicaid fraud.  If any physicians, advanced practice nurses, CRNAs, or podiatrists refuse to enroll as performing providers and Medicaid pays for Medicare claims that automatically crossover, it is considered fraud. Medicaid claims must be billed using the clinic provider name and number in Field 33 of the HCFA-1500 claim form, and the individual physician, advanced practice nurse, CRNA, podiatrist, and diabetes self-management performing provider's number in Field 24K. 

 

Medicare documentation to be submitted to Medicaid so the Medicare number can be added to the provider file:  all providers must submit a copy of the letter received from Medicare, the letter must show the clinic name, Medicare provider number, and practice address if possible.  The letter must include the names and Medicare numbers of all members within the clinic.  If the letter is not available, request a letter from Medicare verifying the clinic Medicare number and the Medicare number of all members within the clinic.


                                                 INDEPENDENT PROVIDERS PRACTICING IN A

                                                HOSPITAL OR NURSING HOME SETTING ONLY

Independent podiatrists, radiology groups, pathologists, or independent CRNA groups may enroll at the administrative office location as long as none of their services are performed in an actual office setting and the administrative office is located in Missouri or bordering state.  If the administrative office address is used, the provider must submit a cover letter stating they do not perform services in an office, state the name and address of the facility(s) where the services are performed, and must maintain a permanent license in the state where the services are performed.  If the provider has separate Medicare numbers for each hospital or nursing home they serve, the provider must submit documentation of all Medicare numbers, Provider Enrollment determines if separate Medicaid numbers are necessary.

 

 

 

DIRECT DEPOSIT

 

The Application for Provider Direct Deposit is available at the DMS website under Medicaid Forms.

 

A separate Application for Provider Direct Deposit must be completed for each provider number whether beginning direct deposit, canceling direct deposit, or other change is required.  Providers who have a clinic Medicaid provider number must complete the Authorization by Clinic Members form along with the Application for Provider Direct Deposit.  The Authorization by Clinic Members form must show all performing providers who are advanced practice nurses, physicians, CRNAs, or disease management.  All other providers must complete an application containing their original signature.

 

If the provider is already enrolled, the original form must be completed, must contain the provider's original wet signature, and must be submitted by postal mail.

 

Provider direct deposits continue to be deposited into the designated account at the specified financial institution until the Division of Medical Services is notified to cancel the direct deposit. Do not close an old account until the first payment is deposited into the new account

 

The CANCEL box must be checked if the direct deposit should be CANCELLED. When electing to cancel direct deposit, future payments are sent by paper check to the current payment name and address recorded on the provider enrollment file.

 

To change the routing and/or account number, a new Application for Provider Direct Deposit must be completed with the new information. Direct deposit is initiated after a properly completed application form is approved by the Division of Medical Services and the successful processing of a test transaction through the banking system. The provider receives a paper check at the current payment name and address recorded on the provider enrollment file during the test transaction period.

 

PROVIDER SIGNATURE:

If the provider is enrolled as an individual, he/she must sign the form with his/her original wet signature.  Nursing homes, hospitals, independent laboratories and home health agencies must be signed by a person listed on form HCFA-1513 (disclosure of ownership) section III (a). If enrolled as a clinic or business (except those listed above) the form must be signed by the person with fiscal responsibility for the same. Clinic applications must be accompanied by the Authorization by Clinic Members form which must contain the name(s) and provider number(s) of all Advanced Practice Nurses, CRNAs, Physicians, and Disease Management providers employed with the clinic.

 

Attach a voided check showing the routing/account numbers, OR if checks are not used attach a CURRENT letter from the provider's bank (cannot be older than 6 months), signed by the president or vice president of the bank, verifying the correct routing/account numbers, type of account, and financial institution. 

 

Direct deposit is initiated after a properly completed application form is approved by the Division of Medical Services and the successful processing of a test transaction through the banking system. The provider receives a paper check at the current payment name and address recorded on the provider enrollment file during the test transaction period.

 

The Division of Medical Services terminates or suspends the direct deposit option for administrative or legal actions including, but not limited to, ownership change, duly executed liens or levies, legal judgments, notice of bankruptcy, administrative sanctions for the purpose of ensuring program compliance, death of a provider and closure or abandonment of an account.

 

If any information completed on this form cannot be verified from the attachments or the form is completed incorrectly, the form(s) are returned without being processed for direct deposit.
