Master Provider File
The Master Provider File (MPF) data systems retain Substance Use Disorder (SUD) provider records for each California County. The MPF Team is responsible for the data management and maintenance of the SUD records.
What is the MPF Database?
The MPF is a group of interconnected databases including the Provider Registry Information Management Enterprise (PRIMe), the California Outcome Measurement System (CalOMS), and the Drug and Alcohol Treatment Access Report (DATAR).
The MPF Team assists California counties in the management of their SUD provider record information. Current and accurate SUD provider records ensure successful submissions for Drug Medi-Cal (DMC) claims, monthly CalOMS submissions, monthly DATAR submissions, Primary Prevention data submissions, quarterly Substance Use Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery Services Block Grant (SUBG) invoices/ledgers, and annual fiscal Cost Reports. California counties can contact the MPF Team at MPF@dhcs.ca.gov.
Forms and Resources
California counties communicate provider record information to the MPF Team by submitting the appropriate MPF Form. California counties can email the MPF Team to request the most current MPF Forms at MPF@dhcs.ca.gov.
