Update on Enrollment Exemption for Residents and Interns
DMA will continue to utilize the NPI Exemption List in NCTracks which allows residents and interns enrolled in Graduate Dental and Medical programs and Area Health Education Centers to be exempt from the provider enrollment requirement only through January 31, 2018. The exemption from the provider enrollment requirement does not include an exemption from the DEA registration requirement for controlled substances.
This exemption list is only applicable to the prescribing provider on a pharmacy claim. All providers that meet the enrollment criteria are required to enroll.
This is an update to the December 2016 Medicaid Bulletin. Additional information is forthcoming in the July 2017 Medicaid Bulletin.
