Please note: Only the provider types identified for Phase I may revalidate via the portal at this time. A planned schedule of phases will be posted on the web portal to outline each provider type and their enrollment/revalidation time period.

Limited Maintenance is now available on the Provider Enrollment Application (PEA) portal.  This new feature will save time for providers, particularly large groups, by limiting the amount of provider data retrieved for specific maintenance activities.  Limited maintenance will allow both the addition and removal of Service Locations and Rendering or Ordering/Referring/Prescribing Providers for currently enrolled/active providers with WV Medicaid and WVCHIP.  Supporting documentation is required, with ALL original signatures, and must be submitted through U.S. mail to:
