Introducing Online Pre-Enrollment for CHDP!
Effective July 1, 2003, Child Health and Disability Prevention (CHDP) program providers can pre-enroll children in the Medi-Cal program by using the new CHDP Gateway on either the Medi-Cal Web site or a Point of Service (POS) device.
Access
CHDP provider participation in the CHDP Gateway requires the following:
- An active provider identification number (PIN); and either
- Internet access; or
- A POS device
CHDP providers will have a six-month period to completely adopt the automated enrollment process in their offices. Beginning January 1, 2004, low-income children not already full-scope Medi-Cal recipients must pre-enroll through the Gateway to access CHDP services.
Training Update
The Ukiah training date was misprinted in the May Medi-Cal Update. The scheduled date for training is September 16, 2003. Please mark your calendar with the correct training date.
Providers are encouraged to attend a training session for the new CHDP Gateway. Refer to the CHDP Gateway Summer 2003 training schedule for a list of training seminars. To register for a training session, please call the EDS Provider Support Center at 1-800-541-5555. If an interpreter for the hearing impaired or a listening device is required for the training session, EDS requires 10 working days to make arrangements.
