About this file

This is a Provider Application form for Independent Clinic/Center enrollment issued by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and Human Services for the MassHealth program. The application serves as the mechanism for independent clinics and centers to enroll as MassHealth providers, including community health centers, family planning agencies, urgent care clinics, ambulatory surgery centers, freestanding birth centers, mental health centers, substance use disorder treatment facilities, and various other outpatient clinical provider types. The form requires applicants to identify their organization type, provide comprehensive organizational information including legal name and address, federal employer identification number, and details for all service locations where MassHealth members will receive services. Applicants must disclose their participation in other state Medicaid programs, Medicare enrollment status, and any criminal convictions or sanctions history. The application mandates submission of service location information including national provider identifier numbers, clinic licenses, and various regulatory certifications such as CLIA numbers for laboratories and BSAS numbers for substance use disorder providers.

The application process requires electronic submission through specified methods including direct data entry or electronic data interchange, with vendors serving as billing intermediaries or clearinghouses subject to MassHealth approval. Applicants must provide detailed information regarding electronic transaction submission including claim types, submission methods, and vendor relationships. The form requires certification under penalties of perjury that all information is true, accurate, and complete, with applicants understanding they bear the burden of producing adequate information to demonstrate eligibility and qualification as participating providers. Completed applications are submitted to MassHealth Provider Enrollment and Credentialing via fax at (617) 988-8974 or mail to PO Box 278, Quincy, MA 02171-0278. There is no specified deadline, award date, or contract term duration identified in the application form itself, as this represents an ongoing enrollment mechanism rather than a time-limited procurement opportunity.
