What Is Provider Enrollment?

Provider Enrollment allows individual or group providers of institutional, professional, or dental services to enroll in the Medicaid program. You must be enrolled in the Medicaid program before obtaining healthcare information about members or submitting claims and service authorizations online or electronically.

A provider is categorized according to the following:

Provider Category Description
Individual Billing Provider An individual or sole proprietorship that is a state certified provider and reports income under a Social Security number, but does not have a Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN).
Group Providers

A group that is a state certified provider and has a Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) under which income is reported.

Incorporated Individual practitioners that are state certified are considered to be group providers since they report their income using a FEIN.

Non-Billing Rendering Provider This application is for an Individual Provider that is performing the service being submitted on the claim but is not billing directly.
Non-Billing ORP Provider This application is for the sole purpose of enrolling providers that order, refer or prescribe supplies, services and/or pharmaceuticals for New Hampshire Medicaid members. This type of enrollment does not allow NH Medicaid to reimburse the applicant/provider for services provided.
Trading Partners Billing agents or business entities that transmit and receive electronic transactions on the behalf of a provider, provider group or carrier.

Once enrollment is complete, letters are automatically sent by mail to notify you when your application is pending, approved, denied, or terminated, and to notify you if your license must be re-certified or information must be verified. Once approved as an enrolled provider, you are issued a Medicaid ID number and you can begin to submit claims.
