2.3Accuracy of Information

All enrollment statements or documents submitted to the Agency for Health Care Administration (Agency) or the Medicaid fiscal agent must be true and accurate. Filing of false information is sufficient cause for denial of an enrollment application or termination from Medicaid participation.

2.4Notice Regarding Use of Social Security Number

As a part of your application for enrollment as a Florida Medicaid provider, all individuals listed as Owner(s) and Operator(s) are required to provide their social security number (SSN) to the Agency pursuant to 26 U.S.C. 6109. Disclosure of your social security number is mandatory. Failure to provide your social security number will be a basis to refuse to enroll you as a Medicaid provider.

Your social security number will be used to secure the proper identification of persons for whom the Agency is responsible for making a return, statement, or other document in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code, and to assist in the administration of the Florida Medicaid program.

2.5Supporting Documentation Requirements

The application process cannot be completed until all required documents as stipulated in the applicable Handbook sections, including an accurately completed Florida Medicaid provider agreement and background screening, are received.

3.The Enrollment Application is finalized. Provider receives a letter containing the final status, whether approved or denied.

4.Once the Enrollment status is Active, the provider receives a Welcome Letter, and Florida Medicaid ID. Full and limited enrolled providers will also receive a PIN Letter, that will be used to create a secure web portal account.

3 Before You Enroll
