Florida Medicaid's Web Portal solution provides communication, data exchange, and self-service tools to the provider community. The Web Portal consists of both public and secure areas (Web pages requiring a username and password). The public area contains general information, such as program awareness, notices, and forms.

You can now apply to be a Medicaid provider online using the provider enrollment wizard and track your application through the process. Once you are enrolled in Medicaid, you can access your personal information using your provider number and PIN (personal identification number).

You can:

• Update information on your provider number;
• Download a form to update address information;
• Perform eligibility verification;
• Request and track prior authorization and referrals;
• Submit and track claims;
• Access alerts and notices; and
• Receive Medicaid policy updates.

Providers can view contact information, training schedules, and training locations using the Area Office contact page. Providers can also receive training using computer based training courses.
