- Per CMS final rule 6028-F, state Medicaid programs must collect an application fee for new provider applications, re-enrollments (revalidations), and reactivations. The following providers are exempt from the application fee:
- Individual providers, nonphysician practitioners, or groups
- Providers who are enrolled with Medicare
- Providers who paid the application fee to either Medicare or another state Medicaid plan
- The application fee for 2019 will be $586.
Payment must be made in the form of a check or money order to the State of Kansas – Medicaid. This amount will go into effect for any application received on and after January 1, 2019. The enrollment fee must be paid for each provider type
Note: In order to waive the application fee, enrollment or payment with Medicare must be verified through PECOS by the fiscal agent. If an application fee is required and the appropriate payment is not included or is not in an acceptable format, the paperwork will be returned to the provider requesting proper payment. The application fee will not be refunded in the event the application or revalidation is denied.
