What do I need to do to prepare for revalidation?

It is highly recommended that you make sure your primary practice location address and provider type are current with South Carolina Healthy Connections Medicaid. It is your responsibility to ensure that your information is current.

To update your address, please fax or mail a letter requesting an address change to MCCS Provider Enrollment on company letterhead. The Provider Enrollment fax number is (803) 870-9022. The address is Medicaid Provider Enrollment, P.O. Box 8809, Columbia, SC 29202-8809. The letter should include the provider’s legacy and NPI numbers, as well as the new address, along with the provider’s or an authorized person’s signature and a contact person’s name and telephone number in case there are any questions. To update info other than an address, please go to www.scdhhs.gov/Provider and select “FAQ Guide” for instructions on how to update information in your profile.
