What is the difference between a Contract Number and a Medicaid Billing Number?
A contract number is a 7-digit number assigned by the DODD. It is placed on a Payment Authorization for Waiver Services (PAWS) form to identify the various providers of service. A Medicaid Billing number is a 7-digit number issued by ODJFS. A Medicaid Billing Number indicates that the provider is officially enrolled as a Medicaid Provider, and may receive federal reimbursement through the waiver.
