How can software vendors arrange to transmit test files to Medi-Cal?
Software vendors who do not currently submit CMC claims on behalf of providers must first obtain a test submitter ID number by completing a Medi-Cal Telecommunications Provider and Biller Application/Agreement (DHS 6153 form). Once a submitter ID number is issued, the vendor is able to transmit test files to the CMC unit. Software vendors who have an active submitter ID number and currently submit CMC claims on behalf of providers must complete a new DHS 6153 form so Medi-Cal can update their submitter profiles. On the agreement, vendors must request that the 837 4010A1 transaction be added to their submitter profiles. To learn more about the enrollment, testing and activation process that must occur before submitting CMC claims, refer to the July Medi-Cal Update or to the CMC sections of the Part 1 manual.
