  • Obtain a PROMISe ID (also known as a Medicaid ID or MPI) and revalidate these locations as required every five years.
  • Log in to PROMISe to check the revalidation dates of each service location and submit revalidation applications at least 60 days prior to the revalidation dates.
  • Enroll any service locations that are not listed in PROMISe.

      Review Medical Assistance Bulletin 99-21-01 and Medical Assistance Bulletin 99-22-11 to learn more about the reinstatement of provider enrollment requirements.
