To bill Medicaid directly, your agency needs its own provider ID, because borrowed billing rights don't last.
20+ years clearing the path in all 50 states, we've done this before, and we'll do it for you. Here is a truth that catches many new providers off guard, and why getting your own ID matters.
Borrowed billing rights are temporary
Billing under someone else's contract may work for a short window, but it is almost always temporary and tied to their region and their timeline, not yours. When that arrangement ends, so does your ability to get paid.
Your own ID puts you in control
Your own provider ID ties your revenue to your entity, not to a relationship that can change. It lets you set your own service area and grow on your own terms. Enroll as an entity, not as an individual, and you build something that lasts.

Key takeaway: Get your own provider ID and enroll as an entity. It protects your cash flow and puts you in control of your service area.
