Effective June 26, 2026, in order for a Medi-Cal Rx enrolled pharmacy to dispense medication you prescribed to a Medi-Cal member, you must be enrolled in Medi-Cal Fee-for-Service (FFS) using your Type 1 National Provider Identifier (NPI).
» Beginning June 26, 2026, claims and PAs will not be processed by Medi-Cal Rx if you are not enrolled in Medi-Cal FFS with a Type 1 NPI.
Immediate Next Steps
As a prescriber, confirm your enrollment as a Medi-Cal FFS provider using the Enrolled FFS Providers list on the California Health and Human Services Open Data Portal. Once on the page, scroll down to the search field on the right and enter your NPI to verify your enrollment status. If you are enrolled, no further action is required. However, if you are not enrolled, you must initiate an account and an application to avoid possible pharmacy claims denials.
Enroll as a Medi-Cal provider through PAVE:

1. Navigate to the PAVE Provider Portal (https://pave.dhcs.ca.gov/sso/login.do) and create a new account.

2. Once you have created an account, select Application.

3. Fill out the application and ensure all required documentation is attached.

» Applications can take up to 90-180 days to be processed. Incomplete or inaccurate application information can delay processing time.
