Medicaid Behavioral Health Provider Enrollment

Effective July 1, 2017, Local Management Entities-Managed Care Organizations (LME-MCOs) will no longer enroll new Medicaid providers. These providers will be new to the LME-MCO network and do not have an active enrollment record in NCTracks.

Medicaid providers requesting an initial enrollment with the LME-MCO must be instructed to submit an enrollment application for processing through NCTracks. Providers interested in rendering behavioral health services must contact the LME-MCO prior to enrolling via NCTracks. Being approved as a Medicaid provider does not guarantee a contract with a LME-MCO.

For more information on Behavioral Health Provider Enrollment, please read the article published in the June 2017 Medicaid Bulletin and the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) posted on the NCTracks Provider Portal, which are updated regularly. A recently added FAQ is:
