Update Your Provider Profile

The information that identifies and describes a specific provider is called a Provider Profile. When information about your business changes, you are required to submit a profile update to the Indiana Health Coverage Programs (IHCP) within 10 business days. Profile updates must be submitted electronically using Web interChange or on the appropriate paper form.

Notes:

  1. The options below do not apply to OPR providers. If you are updating an OPR enrollment, see the Participating as an OPR Provider page.
  2. Self-attesting as a qualified physician for the temporary rate increase in Medicaid payments for qualifying primary care services, as authorized under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), is considered an update to the Provider Profile for existing providers. For that reason, the attestation form is included on this web page. Under certain circumstances newly enrolling physicians may be able to submit the self-attestation as a part of the initial enrollment packet.  More details on how to qualify can be found on the Qualifying for Increased Physician Reimbursement for Primary Care Services page.

Change of Ownership

A change of ownership (CHOW) cannot be performed as an update; a CHOW is treated like a new enrollment. When a change of ownership occurs, providers must do the following:

  • Submit a new IHCP Provider Packet, including all appropriate addenda.
  • Submit appropriate licensure and/or other supporting documentation.
  • Submit a copy of a purchase agreement, bill of sale, or other documentation to verify the CHOW.

Go to the Complete an IHCP Provider Packet page and select your provider type to start the Change of Ownership process.

Making Updates using Web interChange

Web interChange is an interactive web application that allows you to access the Indiana Health Coverage Programs (IHCP) computer system through the Internet. Web interChange is fast, secure, and free and does not require special software. You can make the following updates to your profile using Web interChange:

  • Change Mail To, Pay To, and Service Location address information.
  • Change electronic funds transfer (EFT) information.
  • Change organizational structure information, such as board of directors.
  • Add specialties to an existing profile.

All other updates require the use of paper forms, as noted below.

Making Updates Using Paper Forms

All provider profile updates may be made using paper forms; either using stand-alone forms specifically designed for certain updates or through resubmission of an IHCP Provider Packet, detailing the updated information.

  • The table below provides links to stand-alone forms used to update your provider profile. Select the appropriate form from the list and download it to your computer for completion, following the directions provided.
  • There are certain instances when you must submit updates using the IHCP Provider Packet.
    • Making updates for which no stand-alone forms exist in the table below
    • Making numerous changes at the same time

In these instances, go to the Complete an IHCP Provider Packet page and select your provider type to locate the appropriate packet. When using the IHCP Provider Packet to make updates, follow the instructions provided in the packet.

Select an update form from the list below:

  1. Form Name Description

Other providers that submit claims electronically are not required to complete the form but should do so to cover instances in which submission of a paper claim is necessary. Rendering providers are not required to complete the form. After you complete this transaction, paper claims will not need a signature to be adjudicated, because the signature will be "on file." An owner, authorized official or delegated administrator with the business must sign the form. An original signature is required.
