Attention
To better monitor prescriptions and care of Medicaid members, the Kentucky Department for Medicaid Services (DMS) will require all prescribing providers to enroll as credentialed practitioners. DMS will begin outreach to non-enrolled prescribers to assist with the enrollment process. Effective Sept. 1, 2010, DMS no longer will add non-Medicaid prescribers to our files. Effective Oct. 1, 2010, no reimbursement will be provided for prescriptions by non-Medicaid providers, which will result in prescriptions denying. Please notify your patients that if they accept a prescription from a non-Medicaid provider, DMS will not pay for the prescription. For information about enrollment and to download an application (MAP 811) please visit our website.
If you have any questions or need assistance in completing the enrollment documentation, please contact the Provider Services Branch at (877) 838-5085 Monday-Friday 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Medicaid Partnering with Revenue for Tax Intercept
Effective May 15, the Department for Medicaid Services and the Department of Revenue combed efforts to collect outstanding debts due to any Commonwealth of Kentucky agency.

Important Provider Enrollment Information
As a result of overwhelming applications received and our impending backlog, the Provider Services Branch will not be accepting phone calls during certain times of day to (877) 838-5085. This new policy is an effort to enable staff to be as efficient as possible by reducing work flow interruptions.
An e-mail box has been set up to accept requests during hours the toll-free line is not manned. The e-mail address for provider enrollment is Program.Integrity@ky.gov. We will respond to you within 24 hours.
We are processing applications as quickly as possible in the order they are received. Applications submitted in the last 90 days are still in process.
