• 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.
• Timely filing requirements cannot be extended for failure to obtain prior authorization, provide documentation, or submit online enrollment records in a timely manner.
• Providers should complete their actions at least 45 days prior to timely filing deadlines.
• Providers are required to maintain their online enrollment records to accurately reflect business operations and eligibility to render and bill for services.
• Enrollment record review is generally completed in the order received.
  • Exceptions may be made in the area of EDI and Payment Details. Refer to the User Guide.
