The Health Care Authority (HCA) recently sent the following alert to dental Medicaid providers.

Provider Directory – March 2022

The Health Care Authority (HCA) sends you this notification to update you on our Provider Directory implementation efforts. We last notified you on December 9, 2021.

Provider Directory implementation: March 15 

At this time, HCA plans to move forward with a March 15 go-live date. On this date, the Provider Directory will be made available on 3rd party apps to our Apple Health (Medicaid) clients to search for providers.

Additionally, HCA will continue working to make more 3rd party applications options available for our clients.

  • Find the user manual pertinent to your practice and update your practice information.
    • If you have more than one location enrolled under an NPI, please refer to Step 14 for each of your locations and add the providers practicing at those locations.
  • Update whether your location is accepting new clients. Please find the fact sheet for instructions.
