Provider Enrollment

Welcome to the Medi-Cal Provider Enrollment page and thank you for your interest in becoming a provider in the Medi-Cal program. The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) Provider Enrollment Division (PED) is responsible for the timely enrollment and re-enrollment of eligible fee-for-service health care providers in the Medi-Cal program.

With the implementation of the Provider Application and Validation for Enrollment (PAVE) Provider Portal, PED now offers an improved web-based enrollment process. PAVE improves access to services, facilitates ease of use and adds efficiencies to enrollment processes. PAVE has been implemented in a series of releases to include additional provider types and enrollment actions. To learn more about PAVE and view the list of provider types eligible to use PAVE, visit the Provider Application and Validation for Enrollment page on the DHCS website.

PAVE Provider Portal

PAVE is a secure, web-based Provider Portal that simplifies and accelerates enrollment processes, including completion and submission of new enrollment applications (Medi-Cal Provider e-Form Application [e-Form]), reporting changes to existing enrollments and responding to PED-initiated requests for re-enrollment or revalidation. PAVE offers intuitive guidance, social collaboration and many other user-friendly features.
