Summary
Mississippi Medicaid has introduced three key updates: providers can now view mailed letters directly in their Provider Portal, enrollment application fees for institutional providers increased from $709 to $730 for 2025, and providers can now indicate American Sign Language (ASL) capability in their profiles. These changes primarily affect provider administrative processes and credentialing.
Action Required
Immediately: Enrolled providers should log into the Mississippi Medicaid Provider Portal to access the new 'View Letters' section under 'Secure Correspondence' for viewing recent letters online. Institutional providers requiring enrollment, reactivation, or adding new locations must budget for the increased $730 application fee (up from $709) for 2025 applications. Providers offering American Sign Language services should update their profiles by navigating to the 'Characteristics' section and selecting 'American Sign Language' from the dropdown menu to help members identify appropriate providers.
