The Graduate Medical Education office is responsible for contacting the Department of Health and Hospitals (DHH) and requesting a Medicaid Provider Number for all House Officers. This is typically done within the first month of the House Officer's program.
House Officers are notified via their Program Coordinator when their Medicaid Provider Number is assigned.
