Important Provider Information for Post-Mass Deactivation

The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) conducts periodic deactivations of providers that have not billed Medi-Cal for 12 consecutive months. On February 7, 2015, DHCS conducted a mass deactivation/provider file conversion of provider locations that have not submitted a claim for Medi-Cal fee-for-service reimbursement for one year. The last time DHCS conducted a mass deactivation was in September 2007. DHCS sent written correspondence to notify affected providers of their deactivation or provider file conversion. DHCS has recognized a small subgroup of providers that were incorrectly deactivated due to a system error. If you participated and billed the Medi-Cal fee-for-service program within the last 12 months and feel you have been deactivated in error, please contact DHCS at DHCSMASSDEACT@dhcs.ca.gov.
