At the January meeting of the Medical Services Fund Advisory Council Vicki Cunningham, BMS Pharmacy Director, reported that as of March 14, 2016, Medicaid would not pay for prescriptions if they were not written by a WV Medicaid enrolled provider. CMS has given states an extension on this deadline and it is now June 1, 2016. It is important to note that you may be employed by an entity that bills West Virginia Medicaid for your medical services, prescriptions written by you cannot be covered unless you are also enrolled.
To enroll as a West Virginia Medicaid provider, please contact Molina Provider Enrollment at 888-483-0793. If you are a physician assistant, the practice or physician with whom you are employed must call Molina Provider Enrollment to enroll you as an ordering/rendering provider. If you have questions, please contact the Pharmacy Services Program at 304-558-1700 or at DHHRMedicaidPharmacist@wv.gov.
