Provider Enrollment Revalidation

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) requires state Medicaid programs to revalidate provider enrollments at intervals not to exceed every five years. The CMS revalidation requirement for durable medical equipment (DME) and home medical equipment (HME) providers, including pharmacy providers with DME or HME specialty enrollments, is more frequent, at intervals not to exceed every three years.

Indiana Health Coverage Programs (IHCP) providers will receive notification letters when it is time to revalidate their enrollments. Notifications with instructions for revalidating are sent 60 and 30 days in advance of the revalidation due date. Notices are mailed to the mail-to address indicated on the provider's service location profile. Providers will also see a reminder on the home page of their Provider Account in the IHCP Provider Healthcare Portal (IHCP Portal). Providers with multiple service locations must revalidate the enrollment of each service location and will receive notification for each separately. Providers should not attempt to revalidate until they receive their notification letter.

Providers that fail to revalidate in a timely manner will be disenrolled from participation in the IHCP. After disenrollment, the provider will need to re-enroll with the IHCP. Disenrollment with subsequent re-enrollment may result in a gap in the provider's eligibility.

See Provider Enrollment Revalidation Due Dates Through June 2024 for a list of providers with upcoming revalidation due dates.

See Waiver Provider Enrollment Revalidation Due Dates Through June 2024 for a list of waiver providers with upcoming revalidation due dates.


How to Revalidate an Enrollment

Before beginning the revalidation process, providers should:

The IHCP encourages providers to use the IHCP Provider Healthcare Portal to revalidate enrollment. The IHCP Portal process is faster because much of the provider's information prepopulates. Online help walks providers through the revalidation process, and required documentation can be uploaded and submitted electronically. For group providers revalidating via the IHCP Portal, documentation includes a current, signed copy of the IHCP Rendering Provider Agreement and Attestation Form for each rendering provider actively linked to the group's service location at the time of revalidation.

Providers that choose to revalidate on paper must use the appropriate IHCP provider packet - the same as is required at initial enrollment. There is not a separate revalidation form. To revalidate using paper forms:

  1. Go  to the Complete an IHCP Provider Enrollment Application page on this website and select the link associated with your provider type.
  2. Select the appropriate IHCP provider packet (if multiple packets are available for your provider type, select the packet that corresponds to your provider classification).
  3. Carefully review the instructions and complete the provider packet as directed:
    • Indicate "Revalidate Enrollment" in field 1 on Schedule A, under Type of Request. Complete all other fields in the packet, attach the required documentation, and mail the packet to the address indicated.
    • Revalidation requires providers to complete all applicable information fields. It is not an update for which only additions, deletions, or changes are required.
    • Group providers do not need to complete new rendering provider packets during revalidation. To revalidate the rendering providers linked to the group's service location at the time of revalidation, the group must submit a list of those rendering providers, including the information outlined in the instructions, as an attachment to the group packet. In addition, a current, signed IHCP Rendering Provider Agreement for each rendering provider actively linked to the group must be included with the group's revalidation packet. (Disregard the IHCP Rendering Provider Enrollment and Profile Maintenance Packet that is included at the end of the group provider packet, except for the IHCP Rendering Provider Agreement, which can be copied as needed for each rendering provider.)

More Information

Revalidation requirements also apply to ordering, prescribing, or referring (OPR) providers. See the Ordering, Prescribing, or Referring Providers page on this site for more details about OPR providers.

Revalidation of enrollment is not the same as recertification of enrollment credentials. See Recertify Provider Enrollment Licenses and Other Certifications on this site for details about the recertification process.

For more information about provider enrollment revalidation, see the Provider Enrollment provider reference module.
