Providers must meet Medicaid enrollment requirements, hold proper professional and business licenses, have a Medicaid provider number, and satisfy MCO credentialing standards to qualify

Disqualifies providers who are excluded from participating in Medicare or Medicaid programs

Adds new section §9-5-34 to the West Virginia Code under Article 5 (Miscellaneous Provisions) of the state Medicaid program
