1 Dear Provider: The Department of Social Services (DSS) thanks you for your interest in participating in the Connecticut Medical Assistance Program. Every effort has been made to streamline the enrollment/re-enrollment process. We encourage providers to enroll or re-enroll on the Internet using the following site Detailed instructions for Internet enrollment and re-enrollment are provided once you access the Internet application. Re-enrollments are accessed via the secure provider portal and must be completed by the provider s Web ID administrator once they are logged into the Web site. Clerk IDs cannot perform a Web reenrollment. Please remember that completing a Web based enrollment/re-enrollment also requires some of the documents outlined below to be mailed into the HP Provider Enrollment Unit. Note: Nursing Facilities (Long Term Care) and State Institution (ICF/MR) providers must enroll using a paper application and cannot use the Internet enrollment/re-enrollment function. The following steps are required for those providers that choose to enroll/re-enroll using the attached paper packet. The following steps must be followed to ensure accurate processing of your enrollment/re-enrollment application. Review the contents of the enclosed packet carefully. Please complete all required sections and supply all requested information. The completed packet should be mailed to: HP Provider Enrollment Unit P.O. Box 5007 Hartford, CT Incomplete applications cannot be processed and will be returned. Please contact the Provider Assistance Center at (800) or local to Farmington at (860) if you have questions about this application. For re-enrolling providers: Failure to re-enroll will result in deactivation of your NPI/Non-medical provider identifier in the Connecticut Medical Assistance Program. Providers who have had no claim activity within the last 12 months will be automatically dis-enrolled. If this occurs, the provider must complete a new provider application in order to be considered for enrollment in the Connecticut Medical Assistance Program.

2 In the packet are the items described below: 1. Enrollment/Re-enrollment Form This page is titled Connecticut Medical Assistance Program Enrollment/Re-enrollment Application. Instructions for this application are titled Instructions for the Enrollment/Re-enrollment Form. Pages two though six must also be completed and returned. Instructions for these pages are titled Instructions for pages 2 through 5 and Instructions for page Additional Enrollment/Re-enrollment Data Form If you must supply additional information for a specific field on the first page of the Enrollment/Re-enrollment Form, enter the information on this form. 3. Connecticut Department of Social Services Provider Enrollment Agreement This form must be read by the provider, signed, and returned with the enrollment form. ALL signatures must be original. For Nursing Facility and State Institution ICF/MR providers, the Department of Public Health will provide you with a Department of Social Services Nursing Facility or ICF/MR Enrollment Agreement for you to complete. This agreement, along with your Certification and Transmittal Form, will be submitted to HPs Provider Enrollment unit on your behalf. Please Note: Provider Groups & FQHC Clinics Re-enrolling groups and FQHC Clinics must provide the following: A copy of this agreement should be made available for each existing group member to sign or in the case of FQHCs, all performing members need to sign the agreement. A master agreement for the entire group must be completed and signed by the group s or FQHC s chief executive officer. A list of group or FQHC performing members that are being re-enrolled in the group or FQHC Clinic is required. The list must contain the individual s name, the individual s NPI/non-medical provider identifier, and the individual s license number. For dental groups and FQHC clinics, this list must also include the taxonomy of each group member. Only those group members for whom all enrollment information is received, including the provider agreement, will be re-enrolled. If a new member is to be added to your group or FQHC Clinic at re-enrollment that is not currently enrolled in the Connecticut Medical Assistance Program, a copy of this packet must be completed by that group or FQHC performing member. 4. Notice to Providers This document outlines the penalties for violations connected with the Connecticut Medical Assistance Program. 5. W-9 Form All providers must complete this form with the taxpayer identification number and the business name associated with that number. Check the appropriate box to indicate whether the provider is an individual, corporation, partnership or other.

3 If a provider is enrolling for the Electronic Health Records (EHR) incentive program and is a member of a group/clinic, but wishes to assign payment to themselves, the W-9 form must contain the taxpayer identification number for you as an individual. 6. Determination of Separate Practice Location Form This form must be completed and returned if the provider checks Yes in either Field 17a or Field 17b of the Connecticut Medical Assistance Program Enrollment / Reenrollment Application. 7. Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Form The Department of Social Services requires that all Connecticut Medical Assistance Program billing providers enroll in and receive claims reimbursement through EFT, unless you are a provider located out-of-state providing approved services to Connecticut Medical Assistance Program clients. Non-billing providers participating in the Electronic Health Records (EHR) incentive program that wish to assign payment to themselves instead of the group/clinic must complete an EFT form. If it is a hardship to receive payments via EFT and you elect not to participate in the EFT program, then you may be subject to a per paper check processing fee. Please note that although there is no service charge at this time, this is an option the Department may pursue in the future. To enroll in EFT, providers must complete and submit an Authorization for Electronic Funds Transfer form with a copy of a voided check for a checking account or documentation from your banking institution confirming the bank account and routing number that will be utilized for the EFT deposit. Those providers who are currently enrolled in EFT are not required to take any action. 8. Addendum to Provider Enrollment Agreement Concerning the Acceptable Use of Electronic Signatures This form must be completed in order for DSS to accept electronic signatures to authenticate medical record entries.

That in addition to the above provisions regarding billing and payment, Provider agrees that: a. amounts paid to Provider by DSS shall be subject to review and adjustment upon audit or due to other acquired information or as may otherwise be required by law; b. whenever the commissioner of social services renders a decision, whether based upon a field audit or otherwise, which decision results in the Provider being indebted to the DSS for past overpayments, DSS may recoup said overpayments as soon as possible from the DSS's current and future payments to the Provider. DSS s authority to recoup overpayments includes recoupment of overpayments made for prior years or pursuant to prior provider agreements. A recomputation based upon such adjustments shall be made retroactive to the applicable period; c. in a recoupment situation, DSS determine a recoupment schedule of amounts to be recouped from Provider's payments after consideration of the following factors: (1) the amount of the indebtedness; (2) the objective of completion of total recoupment of past overpayments as soon as possible; 6

In the case of the same person or persons owning or controlling two or more providers but separately incorporating them, whether the person or persons own or control such corporations shall be an issue of fact. Where common ownership or control is found, this subsection shall apply notwithstanding the form of business organizations utilized by such persons e.g. separate corporations, limited partnerships, etc.; and f. DSS's decision to exercise, or decision not to exercise its right of recoupment shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other means or right of recovery the DSS may have.
