MaineCare’s 2021 Provider Enrollment Fee Up Slightly

By lindasnyder on December 3, 2020 • ( 0 )

Last year (on November 30), I posted Maine’s new Provider Enrollment Fee scheduled for 2020, which had gone up slightly from the previous year. Here’s the info for 2021, with another very small ($4) increase.

Application Fee for 2021, CR 98768

Effective January 1, 2021, MaineCare’s provider enrollment application fee will increase to $599 per enrollment application for new, reactivating, or revalidating providers, or when adding new service locations to an existing enrollment. This is in accordance with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (CMS) application fee requirements.

You can pay the application fee by credit or debit card at the time of application submission. You will not be required to pay the application fee to MaineCare if you have already paid the fee to another state Medicaid or Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), or to Medicare (if you are enrolling with MaineCare in the same manner as you have with Medicare) within the past 12 months.

See the 2019 Application Fee Spreadsheet for more detail about provider types that will be required to pay an application fee for each service location. Please contact Provider Enrollment with questions.
