Second Round of Revalidation for DHS Enrolled Providers Announced

Posted on December 8, 2022 by Bobbie Guidry

The Department of Human Services (DHS) will send Provider Revalidation notices to HCBS providers with names beginning with S and T at the end of December. Affected settings provide waiver services in home and community-based settings, including Adult Day Services and Assisted Living (Customized Living).

All providers must complete revalidation at least once every five years.

Check your MN–ITS PRVLTR file regularly for important notices, including letters to notify you that you are due for revalidation. If you have not set up a MN–ITS mailbox, MHCP will send your notice of revalidation to the credentialing address recorded on your enrollment record.

• You have 30 days from the date on the notice to upload your required documents in the Minnesota Provider Screening and Enrollment (MPSE) portal or to fax in all the necessary documents.
• If MHCP does not receive all the required information, they will send you a request for more information (RFMI) notice asking for the remaining information needed to complete revalidation. This information is due 30 days from the date on the RFMI notice.
• If they do not receive all required information 30 days after the RFMI notice date, they will send you a 60-day notice of termination, including provider appeal rights and options for reenrolling after termination.

If you are enrolled as more than one provider type, you will receive a separate notice for each type. If you are consolidated and have more than one file for a provider type, you will receive one notice with instructions to send the required information for each file.

If you are subject to a fee, you must pay when you submit your revalidation documents.

You are subject to a site visit if you are assigned a high or moderate risk level. The post-enrollment site visit may occur any time within the five years before your next revalidation. You can continue receiving payments from MHCP while the site visit is pending

More information about the revalidation schedule and process can be found in the Provider Screening Requirements section of the Provider Basics Manual. 

Do not send any revalidation documents until you receive your initial revalidation notice. You will receive a revalidation notice when you are due for revalidation. Review the Revalidation Schedule in the MHCP Provider Manual for more information. Do not call the MHCP Provider Resource Center unless you know you are due for revalidation and have not received a revalidation notice.
