RE:  Email Contact Information Required for Providers

The Alabama Medicaid Agency (Medicaid) will now require all providers to supply email address information for the following provider contact information fields: service location, pay to, mail to, patient contact/directory and contact person.

Providers in the process of becoming a Medicaid provider should provide this information in the appropriate fields of the electronic enrollment application. This information will also be required and verified for currently enrolled providers during the revalidation process. Initial enrollment applications and/or revalidation documentation submitted without the required contact information will be subject to a request for correction.

Accurate and complete provider information is important for Medicaid, providers and recipients. The provider file is utilized for revalidation, remittance payments, directories and publication communications. Please log in to the Medicaid Web Portal today to verify and/or provide updated information.  

 

Providers currently enrolled may view and update fields (e.g., service location, contact information, provider mail to and pay to) by following the steps below.

 

NOTE: This access is only available to Account Administrator users.

Steps to Add/Update Information:

 

1.    Log on to the Medicaid Interactive Web Portal by going to the following link and selecting Secure Site: https://www.medicaid.alabamaservices.org/alportal/.

2.    On the Providers tab, select Provider Maintenance.

3.    In the Provider Maintenance panel, select Provider Location Contact Information and Provider Payer Information.

4.    Review completed fields for accuracy and update any incorrect or outdated information.

5.    Complete blank fields to provide missing information (e.g., patient contact email, service location email, etc.).

6.    Select Save to submit new/updated information.

  

  The physical service location address cannot be updated using the process outlined

  above. An Enrollment Update Request is required to make any changes to this 

  information. The request must be on company letterhead and should include the

  following information: NPI, Medicaid Provider ID, old service location address and    

  new service location address. A completed W-9 Tax Form must also be attached.

  This form can be found in the Provider Enrollment Forms Library:

  https://medicaid.alabama.gov/content/9.0_Resources/9.4_Forms_Library.aspx.

  Providers should submit requests to update physical service location address

  electronically via the web portal using the electronic upload process.
