Provider News
In compliance with
KRS 205.532, the Kentucky Department for Medicaid Services (DMS) implemented the
KY MPPA system allowing all provider types to enroll, revalidate and perform maintenance electronically. The
KY MPPA complies with all federal and state requirements, policies and procedures related to provider enrollment, revalidation and maintenance.
KY MPPA requires a provider email address to be associated with the provider KY Medicaid number (existing and new) and is required to secure accounts. The email address cannot be the credentialing contact email address, only the providers'. Prescribing providers already use an email address for KASPER through KY Online Gateway. For these provider types, this is the preferred email.

- Review the
provider type summary for your provider type to understand the documentation required to enroll.

How long will the enrollment process take?
The enrollment process may take up to 60 days or longer if the documentation or information is not complete or correct. Any outstanding accounts receivable must be settled before the application can be approved. Please refer to
KRS 205.532 (4) (a) for more information on the enrollment timeline.
