Este tipo de inscripción es solo para médicos individuales que brindan servicios médicos exclusivamente en clínicas de atención primaria autorizadas e inscritas en Medi-Cal, que no tienen otro lugar de trabajo establecido (es decir, un consultorio médico) donde brindan servicios y que necesitan facturar los servicios de hospitalización prestados a los beneficiarios en un hospital general de cuidados agudos o en un hospital psiquiátrico agudo. Los grupos no son elegibles para este tipo de inscripción.​​ 

Pursuant to the regulatory Provider Bulletin published in the December 2005 Medi-Cal Update, DHCS has established procedures for the enrollment of physicians who are solely employed by or provide services pursuant to a contract with licensed primary care clinics, except for services provided as part of a graduate medical education program, and who do not have any active Medi-Cal provider number issued to them individually to bill for clinical services to Medi-Cal beneficiaries at another location and as such, use the licensed primary care clinic as their established place of business. This type of enrollment allows the physician to bill for inpatient services only and not for services provided at the Licensed Primary Care Clinic. In order to determine whether or not you qualify for this type of enrollment, please read the detailed Provider Bulletin: “Requirements and Procedures for ‘Clinic-Based Provider’ Enrollment”. ​​ 

 

If you qualify to enroll as a Clinic-Based Physician: Clinic-Based Physicians are required to submit their individual and/or group applications via PAVE (Provider Application and Validation for Enrollment). ​​ 

Licenciamiento​​ 

Prior to applying to Medi-Cal, first check the Medical Board of California or the Osteopathic Medical Board of California to ensure you meet all the licensing requirements.​​
