If you have applied for a Medicare provider number but have not received the number(s), please submit the number(s) to Provider Enrollment at the above address upon receipt. Claims will not automatically cross electronically from Medicare to Medicaid unless these provider numbers are linked in our system.

Louisiana s Medicaid Program Provider Enrollment Form Group Linkage/Unlinkage Form Instructions PURPOSE This form is used by providers to supply identifying data to the Unisys Provider Enrollment Unit to link or unlink individual Medicaid provider numbers to group Medicaid provider numbers on the Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS). This form can be used only if the individual already has a Medicaid provider number. Linkages of individuals requesting new provider numbers require a complete Enrollment Packet. INDIVIDUAL PROVIDER NUMBER The individual provider number is the exclusive Medicaid number assigned to an individual or entity that is to be used to bill Medicaid for services rendered to Medicaid recipients: By an individual or entity; or As an Attending Provider in a group setting. GROUP PROVIDER NUMBER The group provider number is the exclusive Medicaid number assigned to a group that is to be used to bill Medicaid for services rendered to Medicaid recipients. This group number is used to bill all services rendered and an individual provider number is entered onto the claim as the Attending Provider. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The address for the individual provider number does not have to be the same as the group address in order for the group to receive payment and/or remittance advice for services that are billed under the group s provider number. Those payments will automatically be sent to the Pay To address on the group s provider file. For claims submitted by the group to process correctly, the individual provider number used as the Attending Provider must be linked to the group number. This is accomplished by completing the attached form and returning it to the Unisys Provider Enrollment Unit. This form is also used to notify Unisys Provider Enrollment of an unlinkage meaning that an individual Medicaid provider no longer provides services under the group affiliation.
