Section 429.405 - Provider Enrollment Process(A) A separate, complete application for enrollment as a mental health center must be submitted for each parent clinic and each satellite clinic operated by the parent clinic that operates under a different tax identification number than the parent clinic. 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 130 CMR 429.000.(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 receiving a completed application. An application shall 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 completed.(C) The enrollment is valid only for the center or centers described in the application and is not transferable to other centers operated at other locations by the applicant. Any additional center 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.Amended by Mass Register Issue 1296, eff. 9/25/2015.Amended by Mass Register Issue 1485, eff. 1/1/2023.
