Revalidation

The federal regulation at 42 CFR § 455.414 requires that state Medicaid agencies revalidate the enrollment of all providers, regardless of provider types and/or specialties, at least every 5 years.

When revalidating businesses (EIN enrollment) that have more than one service location, a separate revalidation for each different location is required. If a fee is required, it applies to each service location. Please review the specialty information below to determine if the fee is required.

Individuals (SSN enrollment) complete only one revalidation.

Note: New specialties are not available to be added during a revalidation. If applicable they can be added via a maintenance request once revalidation is finalized and approved.

Review the Revalidation Quick Guide before beginning a revalidation through the Provider Portal.  View HCBS Provider Specialty Codes.

After reviewing the training materials, log into the Provider Web Portal to begin revalidation.
