Important Information Regarding AHCCCS Provider Enrollment Portal
11/11/2019
For the past several months, AHCCCS has been announcing the Spring 2020 launch of the new AHCCCS Provider Enrollment Portal (APEP).
APEP will allow providers to:
- Enroll as an AHCCCS provider;
- Report changes to update their provider profile (such as phone and addresses, etc.);
- Upload and/or update licenses and certifications;
- Track submission and status of an application or update;
- And more, all online anytime of the day!
This change, from a 100% manual process to the new, automated system will streamline the provider enrollment process. Initial applications and updates to existing provider profiles will be processed more quickly and online.
In preparation for the APEP implementation, AHCCCS announces an Application Cut-Off Timeline to support the provider data conversion process. It is imperative to read all forthcoming APEP-related communication. More information about new system training will be released in the next few months.
Application Cut-Off Timeline
- All new, reactivating and changes to existing provider applications must be received by AHCCCS no later than December 12th, 2019. This will guarantee timely processing of the application or requested change through the current paper-based process.
- Provider conversion into APEP begins January 16th, 2020. The new, fully operational system will be available to providers on March 2nd, 2020.
- During the conversation into APEP, AHCCCS cannot accept any new or reactivation provider applications, or applications requesting a change to an existing provider. This temporary hold on applications will last from December 12th, 2019 until March 2nd, 2020.
