Medicaid Provider Enrollment & Maintenance

SD Medicaid has an online enrollment process for providers meeting the eligibility criteria referenced in General Enrollment Information below who are providing eligible services. Effective May 5, 2021 all enrollment activities are completed through the Provider Enrollment (PE) Portal.

General Enrollment Information

• Supporting documentation is sent via email SDMedicaidPE@state.sd.us. Include the NPI, provider name, and whether it is a new enrollment or existing enrollment in the email body.
• No application fee is charged.
• Enrollment records and documentation must be completed and received within 30 days of starting data capture, or it will be denied/rejected.
• Many attending, ordering, referring, and prescribing providers will be subject to the streamlined enrollment process upon claim submission and are not required to take enrollment action in the PE Portal.
• Billing and Servicing providers must be a type of provider recognized by SD Medicaid on our provider enrollment chart and provide covered services in order to enroll.
• Out-of-state providers must submit a claim for services that meets prior authorization and timely filing requirements with the enrollment documentation to be deemed eligible.

  • Providers should complete their actions at least 45 days prior to timely filing deadlines.
  • Exceptions may be made in the area of EDI and Payment Details. Refer to the User Guide.
