Summary
Effective August 1, 2026, all new Medi-Cal providers must complete onboarding training and submit an online attestation form (paper attestations are no longer accepted). Attestations must be submitted to confirm training completion prior to or within 30 days of contract activation. Failure to submit attestations will delay provider contract activation and may result in regulatory compliance findings.
Action Required
By August 1, 2026: (1) Billing/credentialing team must monitor all new Medi-Cal provider onboarding and ensure each new provider completes the required DHCS onboarding training within 30 calendar days of contract activation date. (2) Providers must complete and submit the online Attestation of New Provider Training form (available at Health Net Providers portal under 'New Providers Onboarding Materials') for each new provider. Required information: full name, NPI, training completion date, and provider email. (3) Remove paper attestation submission processes from credentialing workflows; transition entirely to online form submission. (4) Track and maintain records of submitted attestations for compliance verification. Noncompliance will result in delays in provider contract activation and potential regulatory compliance findings.
