There's been several emails sent out from CMOs and announcements from Medicaid reminding everyone about the group enrollment process due 7/1/26.
Remember for those who we have billing contracts, I'll be submitting these for you. Reach out to me to confirm.
IF YOU FILE WITH A GROUP NPI TO MEDICAID OR CMOS, YOU'LL NEED TO DO THIS APPLICATION. They changed the rule this year to require it to be anyone, even if you're just a single provider for your business, as long as you file with a group npi.
Here's a reminder on how to do it :
Remember you must be logged into your payee account on Medicaid. Not your Medicaid provider account. If you do not have your payee login, you must call to get them to mail a pin letter to you to set it up. Do this asap. 877-261-8785 for web pin reset (direct line)
Remember you have to upload two documents:
Copy of your business license (either county or city). IF YOUR COUNTY/CITY DOESN'T REQUIRE A BUSINESS LICENSE, YOU MUST GET A LETTER FROM THE COUNTY STATING SUCH AND UPLOAD IT INSTEAD
Secretary of state corporation license as well. You can get a copy of the corp info here by searching your business name: https://ecorp.sos.ga.gov/BusinessSearch
Remember you must be logged into your payee account to do this....
Go to provider enrollment, enrollment wizard:
Enter your legal business name just exactly how the IRS has it:
If you have multiple specialties in your group, add each one here:
Do not click add after the last specialty is added, just save and continue. If you accidentally click add too many times, click on the blank line at the top of the box and click delete:
Make sure you enter your primary taxonomy group number. If it's wrong, you can update it on the NPI website via your login (posting a blog later to show, see below)
Make sure you add all three addresses to the application and remember to hit save and continue instead of add for the last one:
Skip:
When you get to this page, you must put in each provider's individual NPI number, click search, select the current Medicaid number(s) the provider uses for every active location, check the box accept and add to put additional providers in the form.
DO NOT CLICK THIS BOX UNLESS YOU HAVE OVER 30 PROVIDERS:
Make sure you select business:
Skip:
Make sure you put the owner's info here:
Skip:
Put your payee number here. You can find it above on the dark blue line because you're logged into the payee account to do this application:
Then put in your hours and make a note if appts are required:
I usually skip this:
The next two pages are yes and no questions, make sure you answer carefully. Then the page will show a link for your uploads. This window will open up in another tab. Remember to hold control or command and click the link with your mouse if you do not see it appear:
Once you're finished uploading, go back to this page and save & continue
The next page put the owners name, then owner, title and save thru the next few pages:
The application itself will pop up in a new window. Make sure to save this application to reference it again. The name of the file and the last page will have your ATN number to check the progress. You can look it up here:
When you type in the name, make sure it's exactly like you entered previously for the legal business name the irs has:
You'll receive an email shortly after to confirm they received the docs. Because these are all going in now, not sure how long it will take.
If you need help with updating your NPI address or info, I'll be posting a blog shortly.
NPI updates do not usually take long, but you must make sure that info is up to date when doing any credentialing.
There's a ton more issues going on I'll try to address later, but for now, this is the most important thing that has to be done asap.
