Provider Enrollment Process
Effective Mar 28, 2025M.G.L. c. 118EMassHealth
(A) A separate, complete application for enrollment as a MassHealth substance use disorder treatment provider must be submitted for each site. The applicant must submit the appropriate provider enrollment application to the MassHealth agency. The MassHealth agency may request additional information or perform a site inspection to evaluate the applicant's compliance with the regulations in 130 CMR 418.000.
- (1) Based on the information in the enrollment application, information known to the MassHealth agency about the applicant, and on the findings from any site inspection deemed necessary, the MassHealth agency will determine whether the applicant is eligible for enrollment.
- (2) The MassHealth agency will notify the applicant of the determination in writing within 60 days of the MassHealth agency’s receipt of a completed application. An application will not be considered complete until the applicant has responded to all MassHealth requests for additional information, and MassHealth has completed any required site inspection.
- (B) If the MassHealth agency determines that the applicant is not eligible for enrollment, the notice will contain a statement of the reasons for that determination, including but not limited to incomplete application materials and recommendations for corrective action, if appropriate, so that the applicant may reapply for enrollment once corrective action has been taken.
- (C) The enrollment is valid only for the provider types and locations described in the application and is not transferable to other programs operated at other locations by the applicant. Any additional program established by the applicant at a satellite clinic or other location must separately apply for enrollment and be enrolled with the MassHealth agency to receive payment.
