Revalidation
Revalidations are required to be done for all provider records, regardless of provider type, at least every five years. DME suppliers are required to revalidate every three years.
Review the revalidation list for providers who have upcoming or past due revalidations. Click on the list and do a Ctrl F to search for your name.

After the provider confirms the above information matches, the following documents are the only required documents to submit to complete revalidation:
- Individual: SFN 615 (Medicaid Program Provider Agreement) and PE Coversheet
- Group:
- General - SFN 615- Medicaid Program Provider Agreement; and), SFN 1168 (Ownership/Controlling Interest Conviction Information), and PE Coversheet
- Pharmacy- SFN 1169- Pharmacy Agreement/Medical Assistance Program, SFN 1168 (Ownership/Controlling Interest Conviction Information), and PE Coversheet
- NEMT- SFN 620- NEMT, SFN 1168 (Ownership/Controlling Interest Conviction Information), and PE Coversheet
