Attached is your DP 1059, which confirms your qualification to provide specific services under the Consolidated, Community Living, and Person/Family Directed Support (P/FDS) Waivers.

Your Next Steps for Enrollment:

  1. Complete the ODP Waiver Provider Agreement: Follow the instructions provided in the cover letter to complete the ODP Waiver Provider Agreement.
  2. Receive Endorsed Agreement: Once completed, you will receive a date-stamped (endorsed) ODP Waiver Provider Agreement. This document will be used along with the DP 1059 form and other required materials.
  3. Submit Your PROMISe® Enrollment Application: Using the MA Program Online Provider Enrollment Application System, submit your PROMISe® enrollment application.
    • Be sure to attach the approved DP 1059 form, the endorsed ODP Waiver Provider Agreement, and all other required supporting documentation.

Important: You must enroll your qualified specialty within 60 days of your approved DP 1059 from your Assigned Administrative Entity
