# MN Medicaid

Minnesota Medicaid requires providers to use a valid National Provider Identifier (NPI) or Unique Minnesota Provider Identifier (UMPI) when submitting claims to Minnesota Health Care Programs (MHCP).

## Provider Identifier Requirements

- **NPI:** Providers eligible for a National Provider Identifier must obtain one through the National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES) before enrolling with MHCP.
- **UMPI:** Providers who are not eligible for an NPI may be assigned a 10-digit Unique Minnesota Provider Identifier (UMPI) by MHCP during enrollment.

An NPI or UMPI is required on all claims submitted to MHCP.

## Additional Information

For detailed information about provider identifiers, including how to add, update, or manage an NPI or UMPI, refer to the official Minnesota Department of Human Services documentation:
