ACHN Providers are required to complete agreement with both Medicaid and the ACHN in order to receive bonus and participation rates. Visit Forms for Provider Enrollment and Revalidation for ACHN and Primary Care Physicians (PCP) enrollment agreements.
Please be advised that CMS has required the risk level of SNF provider type be changed to high/moderate risk which will require a site visit to be completed upon initial enrollment and during revalidation every 5 years. The high−risk level also requires a fingerprint criminal background check.
Federal requirements mandate providers revalidate periodically with the Alabama Medicaid program. Providers will be notified when they are scheduled for revalidation. Failure to revalidate and provide appropriate documentation to complete enrollment will result in an end-date being placed on the provider file. Once a provider file has been closed for failure to timely revalidate, providers will have to submit a new application for enrollment.
