Mississippi Medicaid Late Breaking News (LBN)
The latest updates and information Mississippi Medicaid providers need to know is posted in Late Breaking News.
License Renewal with the Division of Medicaid
In compliance with 42 CFR § 455.412, the Mississippi Division of Medicaid (DOM) is required to maintain up-to-date licensure documentation for all enrolled providers, including those participating in fee-for-service, MississippiCAN, and CHIP programs.
To prevent deactivation of Medicaid provider numbers and interruption in claims payments, providers must submit current licensure information promptly.
With a high volume of licenses set to expire on June 30, 2025, it is strongly recommended that providers submit renewed licenses as soon as possible to ensure sufficient processing time and avoid any potential disruptions in payment.
Who Is Affected?
Although not an exhaustive list, providers holding licenses issued by the following Mississippi state boards may be affected:
• Mississippi State Board of Medical Licensure
• Mississippi State Board of Physical Therapy
• Mississippi Board of Chiropractic Examiners
• Mississippi Board of Psychology
• Mississippi State Department of Health
License Expiration Notifications
Providers whose licenses are expiring will receive letters of notification by mail from Gainwell Technologies. As noted in the December 30, 2024, Late Breaking News article, the notification will also be available for viewing in the provider portal.
To stay informed, DOM encourages providers to check the Provider Six-Month License Due List, available and updated monthly on the DOM website: View the Provider License Due List
