Following mandates from the Maryland Department of Health (MDH), providers are required to obtain certification through the Behavior Analyst Certification Board and submit documentation via the ePREP portal. Failure to complete this process by the specified date will result in suspension from the Maryland Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS). This communication serves to ensure that all active ABA practitioners are aware of the necessary enrollment updates and the potential consequences of non-compliance, thereby maintaining uninterrupted service eligibility within the state Medicaid program.
