DHCS Medi-Cal Provider Screening and Enrollment Requirements Effective January 1, 2018:
Federal Law requires all Kern Health Systems (KHS) contracted providers to be screened and enrolled in the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) Medi-Cal Fee-For-Service (FFS) Program. Providers who enroll through DHCS are eligible to provide services to Medi-Cal FFS beneficiaries, even if the provider never submits claims directly to DHCS for FFS members, as well as Kern Family Health Care beneficiaries.
Prior to submitting your KHS application/inquiry, verify your enrollment status, including place of business address to ensure all data matches your application and NPI at: https://data.chhs.ca.gov/dataset/profile-of-enrolled-medi-cal-fee-for-service-ffs-providers
All Providers, where a DHCS state-level enrollment pathway exists, must enroll in Medi-Cal through the DHCS Provider Enrollment Portal at https://pave.dhcs.ca.gov/sso/login.do and must meet all established place-of-business requirements appropriate and adequate for the services billed or claimed to the Medi-Cal Program as relevant to scope of practice or type of business. All providers are expected to maintain current and accurate information about yourself and/or your group as data submitted through PAVE comprises the DHCS CHHS database portal used to verify the network of approved Medi-Cal providers in California.
