Is a physician required to submit an application to participate in PCCM?
The state requires primary care physicians and providers (PCPs) to sign an attestation form to participate in PCCM. The attestation is an addendum to PCPs’ current Medicaid provider agreement and specifies physicians’ responsibilities as a PCP. The attestation also allows PCPs to provide important information about their practice to the state, such as whether you will accept current patients only or also new patients; practice hours; special services offered by you or your staff, such as after-hours care; and any age or gender limitations on the patients you accept. Specialists participating in Medicaid are not required to submit additional information unless they want to be designated a PCP.
