Effective February 1, 2019, all providers will be required to submit their Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) enrollment application electronically via the Provider Web Portal [https://www.medicaid.nv.gov/hcp/provider], as paper EDI application submissions will no longer be accepted with the go-live of the new modernized Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS). Please continue to review the modernization-related web announcements at https://www.medicaid.nv.gov/providers/Modernization.aspx for further details.

Electronic billing (also called Electronic Data Interchange or "EDI") speeds payment and eliminates costs associated with paper claims. You can submit electronic claims through a clearinghouse or through your existing, HIPAA-compliant business management software.
