This authorization, and any limitations or termination of such authorization, must be signed by the rendering provider and maintained in the provider's files for at least seven (7) years following the submission of claims or receipt or direction of funds from the Authority.(7) To facilitate timely claims and encounter processing and payment consistent with applicable privacy and security requirements for providers: (a) The Authority requires all non-billing and payable providers to be enrolled consistent with the provider enrollment process described in this rule;(b) If the provider uses electronic media to conduct transactions with the Authority or authorizes a non-billing provider, e.g. billing service or billing agent, to conduct such electronic transactions, the rendering provider must comply with the Authority Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) rules, OAR 943-120-0100 through 943-120-0200.

A provider must make available to MFCU, copies of all procedural and policy statements, directives, and proposed or adopted regulations concerning the Medicaid program, and any other information relevant to the work of MFCU. Providers shall disclose protected health care information to the MFCU for oversight activities as authorized by 45 CFR s164.512(d).(9) An Indian Health Service facility meeting enrollment requirements shall be enrolled on the same basis as any other qualified provider. However, when state licensure is normally required, the facility need not obtain a license but must meet all applicable standards for licensure.(10) A provider that is currently subject to sanction by the Authority or the provider, a person with ownership or control of the provider, or a provider's managing employee is excluded, sanctioned or suspended by the federal government or another state from Medicare or Medicaid participation the provider is not eligible for enrollment, consistent with OAR 410-120-1400, except when the Agency determines good cause exists, in accordance with 42 CFR 455.23;(11) All providers listed in section (5) of this rule must provide the following information before the Authority may enroll and issue or revalidate an Authority assigned provider number.

Disenrollment or sanction from other states' Medicaid programs or exclusion from any other federal or state health care program is a basis for disenrollment, termination, or suspension from participation as a provider in Oregon's medical assistance programs;(b) The provider bills only for services provided within the provider's scope of licensure or certification;(c) For noncontiguous out-of-state providers, the services provided must be authorized in the manner required under OAR Ch 410 and Ch 309 rules specific to the service, OAR 410-120-1180 and these rule for out-of-state services:(A) The services provided are for a specific Oregon Medicaid member who is temporarily outside Oregon or the contiguous area of Oregon;(B) Services provided are for foster care or subsidized adoption children placed out of state; or(C) The provider is seeking Medicare deductible or coinsurance coverage for Oregon Qualified Medicare Beneficiaries (QMB) members; or(D) The services for which the provider bills are covered services under the Oregon Health Plan (OHP) and follow Authority requirements for prior authorization, when applicable.(d) Facilities including but not restricted to hospitals, rehabilitative facilities, institutions for care of individuals with mental retardation, psychiatric hospitals, and residential care facilities shall be enrolled as providers only if the facility is enrolled as a Medicaid provider in the state in which the facility is located or is licensed as a facility provider of services by Oregon;(e) Out-of-state providers may provide contracted services per OAR 410-120-1880; and(f) Out-of-state entities seeking to enroll, or enrolled, as a billing provider shall register with the Secretary of State and the Department of Revenue to transact business in Oregon pursuant to ORS 63.701 and OAR 410-120-1260.(g) The Authority shall enroll an out-of-state noncontiguous pharmacy as a provider only when enrollment is necessary to meet a need that cannot be met by an in-state pharmacy. The pharmacy is required to be licensed in the state where the member filled the prescription (i.e. state where medication is dispensed) and must be enrolled with the Authority as a Medicaid provider in order to submit claims or encounters to Authority. Identified needs include but are not limited to the following:(A) Enrollment is necessary to reimburse an out-of-state pharmacy for services rendered to a member that travels out of Oregon and is unable to use a pharmacy licensed in Oregon. The out-of-state pharmacy must be licensed in the state where the services are rendered;(B) Enrollment is necessary to ensure the Authority is the payer of last resort, OAR 410-120-1280, such as when a member's TPL payer requires use of an out-of-state mail order pharmacy;(C) Enrollment is necessary to ensure access to covered pharmacy services that are not otherwise generally available either through the Authority's contracted mail order pharmacy or through enrolled in-state pharmacies; or(D) Enrollment is necessary to ensure access to covered pharmacy services provided to members residing in a licensed in-state facility, such as a long-term care facility.

The request shall be in writing and signed by the provider. The notice shall specify the Authority assigned provider number to be terminated and the effective date of termination. Termination or deactivation of the provider enrollment does not terminate any obligations of the provider for dates of services during which the enrollment was in effect;(b) The Authority may deny enrollment, revalidation, or re-enrollment, or sanction and suspend or terminate a provider at any time including but not limited to any of the reasons listed in OAR410-120-1400; and(c) Authority will send written notice to the provider when a provider's application for enrollment, revalidation or re-enrollment is denied, enrollment is terminated or suspended, or a sanction is imposed by Authority under OAR 410-120-1400, regardless of whether the provider is continuously enrolled, or the provider number is active at the time notice is issued. Authority notice will state the effective date of the Action.(23) A provider may appeal a termination, suspension or other sanction. If a provider's enrollment, revalidation, or re-enrollment is denied, enrollment is suspended, terminated or any sanction is imposed by the Authority under this rule, the provider may request a contested case hearing pursuant to OAR 410-120-1400, 410-120-1460, 410-120-1600 and 410-120-1860.(24) If a provider's enrollment is suspended or terminated, the Authority may notify board of registration or licensure, federal or other state Medicaid agencies, MCEs and the National Practitioner Data Base of the finding(s) and the sanction(s) imposed.(25) If a provider's enrollment has been deactivated, terminated or suspended for any reason the provider must complete a new application for enrollment, including all required documentation, and submit it to the Authority. To re-enroll the provider, Authority review is contingent upon the risk-based screening in section (3) of this rule. A re-enrollment by Authority has the same requirements and process as a new enrollment.(26) Authority may deny enrollment, revalidation or re-enrollment request (for encounter purposes) to an encounter only provider, or sanction and suspend or terminate an enrolled encounter only provider, for any of the reasons in OAR 410-120-1400: (a) Authority will notify the encounter only provider and the MCE. Authority notice will state the effective date of the Action;(b) Authority may recoup any overpayments in accordance with OAR Ch 410, Div. 120, CH 410 Div. 141, and the contract between the MCE and the Authority; and(c) The MCE must adjust encounter claims in accordance with OAR 410-141-3570 and recoup overpayments from the provider in accordance with OAR 410-141-3510.(27) The provision of health care services or items to Authority members is a voluntary action on the part of the provider. Providers are not required to serve all Authority members seeking service.(28) Providers seeking to enroll in the Authority must be a provider type established in the State Plan as approved for Medicaid reimbursement.Or.
