DHS
Must Process Backlog of 2003 Medi-Cal Provider Applications
by June 29
The Department of Health Services (DHS) is now required by law to process by June 29 the Medi-Cal provider applications received by the department in 2003. The current application backlog goes as far back as August 2003. This steps follows approval by the state legislature last year of bill SB 857, which is designed to improve the Medi-Cal provider application process and reduce fraud. Under this measure, physicians who submitted provider enrollment applications in 2003 can expect to be notified by mail next week of the status of their application. DHS has offered to work closely with CMA to help individual physicians through the provider application process. Physicians who need assistance should call CMA Reimbursement Specialist Frank Navarro at 916/551-2046.
