Enrollment through the process lasts five years
What the document says“provides that an eligible out-of-State provider that enrolls as a participating provider in the State plan (or a waiver of such plan) through such process shall be so enrolled for a 5-year period, unless the provider is terminated or excluded from participation during such period.”
The new paragraph requires the state plan to provide that a provider who enrolls through the streamlined process stays enrolled for five years, unless terminated or excluded from participation during that period.
What the document actually says“provides that an eligible out-of-State provider that enrolls as a participating provider in the State plan (or a waiver of such plan) through such process shall be so enrolled for a 5-year period, unless the provider is terminated or excluded from participation during such period.”
A doctor who signs up this way stays signed up for five years. That ends early only if the doctor is cut off or shut out.
Sign-up can run out and have to be done again. A five year term cuts down on that paperwork.
