  20. National Accreditation Monica Adams

  21. National Accreditation • All providers enrolled in Eastpointe’s Provider Network and providing services on or after July 1, 2008, which required national accreditation, were required to complete all accreditation requirements and be awarded national accreditation within one year of enrollment in the Medicaid program or within two years following the provider’s first contract to deliver a State-funded service requiring national accreditation.

  22. National accreditation applies to accreditation by an entity approved by the Secretary that accredits mental health, developmental disabilities, and substance abuse services. If you are not certain if accreditation applies to your agency please refer to the service definitions for the services that you provide. The service definitions will specify if accreditation is required.

  23. Benchmarks • If a provider’s Medicaid enrollment or service delivery contracts are terminated as a result of failure to meet accreditation benchmarks or failure to continue to be nationally accredited, the provider will work with the MCO to transition members served by the provider to other service providers in an orderly fashion within 60 days of notification by the MCO of such failure. • A provider that has its Medicaid enrollment or service delivery contracts terminated as a result of failure to meet accreditation benchmarks or failure to continue to be nationally accredited may not reapply for enrollment in the Medicaid program or enter into new service delivery contracts for at least one year following enrollment or contract termination.

  24. If you have questions pertaining to National Accreditation please contact Eastpointe Network Operations Call Center at (888) 977-2160.
