Other Important Information Hospitals are asked to provide ForwardHealth with all subpart NPIs they use with other payers, including Medicare. Providers are required to provide ForwardHealth with only those subpart NPIs that represent hospital units that are not separately enrolled in Wisconsin Medicaid. ForwardHealth uses subpart NPIs as additional identifiers that are linked to the hospital's enrollment.

Once a subpart NPI is on file with Wisconsin Medicaid, a hospital provider may use the subpart NPI as the billing provider on claims. On adjustments, providers are reminded that the billing provider NPI on the original claim and the billing provider NPI on the adjustment must match.

Providers may add or revise subpart NPI information on file with ForwardHealth using the demographic maintenance tool. In addition to subpart NPIs, providers may add to or revise the taxonomy codes corresponding to the subpart using the demographic maintenance tool.

Subpart NPIs on file with ForwardHealth may be used on claim transactions, prior authorization requests, WiCall, enrollment verification, provider enrollment, Provider Services inquiries, and the ForwardHealth Portal.

Print
Enrollment Criteria
  • There are two types of Comprehensive Community Services (CCS) program providers:
    • Regional providers are counties or tribes that operate a regional CCS program under one of the following four regional service models defined by the Division of Care and Treatment Services (DCTS):
       
      Regional Service Model Definition
      Population-Based Model A single county with a population exceeding 350,000 residents that operates a regional CCS program within its own county borders or a single tribe, regardless of population size, that operates a regional CCS program within its tribe.
      Shared Services Model Multiple counties and tribes partner together to operate a regional CCS program across their counties and tribes; no lead county or tribe is identified.
      Multi-County Model Multiple counties and tribes partner together to operate a regional CCS program across their counties and tribes; a lead county or tribe is identified.
      51.42 Model Multiple counties that have partnered together to form a separate 51.42 legal entity operate a regional CCS program through the 51.42 entity.

      ForwardHealth provides the federal and non-federal share of Wisconsin Medicaid and BadgerCare Plus program costs to regional CCS providers.

      To operate a regional CCS program, counties and tribes must first complete the following three steps in order:
       
      • DCTS Approval—Counties and tribes are required to obtain approval of their proposed regional CCS program from DCTS, which will confirm that the proposed regional CCS program meets the requirements of the regional service model under which it will operate.
      • Division of Quality Assurance (DQA) Certification—Counties and tribes are required to obtain either a single DQA certification or separate DQA certifications for each county or tribe within the region for the regional CCS program based on the regional service model approved by DCTS for the CCS program.
         
        Regional Service Model Approved by DCTS Type of DQA Certification Required for the CCS Program
        Population-Based Model Single DQA certification
        Shared Services Model Separate DQA certification for each county or tribe within the region
        Multi-County Model Single DQA certification
        51.42 Model Single DQA certification
        Through the DQA certification process, the DQA confirms that the proposed regional CCS program meets all requirements within Wis. Admin. Code ch. DHS 36.
      • Medicaid Enrollment—Following DCTS approval and DQA certification, counties and tribes are required to enroll with ForwardHealth in Wisconsin Medicaid as a regional CCS provider based on the following requirements for each regional service model:
         
        Regional Service Model Requirements
        Population-Based Model The single county or single tribe within the region must enroll.
        Shared Services Model Each county or tribe within the region must enroll separately.
        Multi-County Model Each county or tribe within the region must enroll separately.
        51.42 Model The 51.42 entity must enroll; individual counties within the 51.42 region do not need to separately enroll.

        Providers who have multiple Medicaid enrollments are required to provide a unique taxonomy on their CCS enrollment.

        Counties and tribes that are already enrolled in the Medicaid program as CCS providers do not need to re-enroll as regional CCS providers but do still need to complete DCTS approval and DQA certification. ForwardHealth is notified by the DQA of any changes to the provider's regional CCS program and automatically updates the provider's Medicaid enrollment file.

        Counties and tribes that are not already enrolled in Wisconsin Medicaid as CCS providers must complete a Medicaid enrollment application.
    • Non-regional providers are counties or tribes that operate a CCS program within their own county or tribe on a non-regional basis. ForwardHealth provides only the federal share of Medicaid and BadgerCare Plus program costs to non-regional CCS providers. Non-regional providers are required to be certified in either of the following ways:
      • The provider is required to be a local county or tribal agency with DCTS certification and DQA certification.
      • The agency is required to obtain a Wisconsin Department of Health Services certificate to provide CCS as authorized under Wis. Admin. Code ch. DHS 36, which meets Wisconsin Medicaid's Wis. Admin. Code ch. DHS 105 requirement.

        Agencies that do not meet this criteria will qualify as a billing-only provider and will be allowed to bill for CCS. An allowable Medicaid rendering provider is required to perform the service.

        The billing agency is required to have an agency resolution stating that the county or tribe agrees to make available the non-federal share needed to provide CCS.
  • The provider is required to have an Entity Type 2 National Provider Identifier.
