        Action Needed:
        In order to ensure there are no billing issues with your group or servicing accounts, please complete the following steps.

        First, check to see if the Provider exists in ProviderOne:
        The easiest way to determine this is by clicking into Step 14 from your group domain, click “Add”, enter the individual providers NPI and start date, click “Confirm Provider”.

        • Proceed to Option 1 if you get an error message that states “this NPI doesn’t exist in ProviderOne”

        9. Click "Submit Enrollment" to send to L&I for review.  

        Option 2: If the Individual Provider exists in ProviderOne, follow these steps:

        1. If the Provider is found, you will be prompted to add an agency.
        2. Follow the system prompts.
        3. Once you have completed the association, stay in Step 14 and filter by Status I%.
        4. Click on the providers name to complete the enrollment by using Step 14 of this guide.
        5. Review each required step and upload the required documents at the final step.
        6. Submit new application modification for L&I review.
