Providers will have 90 days from the end of the waiver period on March 29, 2023, to submit an application for enrollment via the Provider Application and Validation for Enrollment (PAVE) portal. Providers who have not submitted an application by June  27, 2023 (90 days after this bulletin effective date) will have their temporary enrollment deactivated effective June 28, 2023 (91 days after this bulletin effective date).
