Participating Correctional Facility Enrollment Process

(A) The applicant must submit the appropriate provider enrollment application to the MassHealth agency. The MassHealth agency may request additional information or perform a site inspection to evaluate the applicant's compliance with the regulations in 130 CMR 449.000. (1) Based on the information in the enrollment application, information known to the MassHealth agency about the applicant, and the findings from any site inspection deemed necessary, the MassHealth agency will determine whether the applicant is eligible for enrollment. (2) The MassHealth agency will notify the applicant of the determination in writing within 60 days of the MassHealth agency receiving a completed application. An application will not be considered complete until the applicant has responded to all MassHealth requests for additional information, and MassHealth has completed any required site inspection. (B) If the MassHealth agency determines that the applicant is not eligible for enrollment, the notice will contain a statement of the reasons for that determination, including but not limited to, incomplete application materials and recommendations for corrective action, if appropriate, so that the applicant may reapply for enrollment once corrective action has been completed. (C) Enrollment is valid only for the facility or facilities described in the application and is not transferable. Any additional facility established by the applicant at another location must apply for enrollment and be enrolled with the MassHealth agency to receive payment.
