Provider Portal
Our new Provider Portal offers faster, more efficient claims processing.
Our new, centralized claims and provider management system for the Division of Specialized Care for Children (DSCC) is now live!
This upgrade is part of our continued commitment to improve service delivery and strengthen our partnerships with providers by offering faster, more efficient claims processing.
The new platform introduces an improved Provider Portal. Please note that we are launching the new portal in phases for our Core Program providers.
The sections below highlight what each group of providers needs to know.
Core Program Providers
Our new Provider Portal is now available for our Core Program providers who were registered on our old system with an active status. The portal aims to streamline your access to claims information and enhance your experience as a valued provider.
- The initial release allows you to view the status of your submitted claims.
- We are actively working to expand its features and functionality, introducing more capabilities in future updates. We will keep you informed as these enhancements become available.
Important Note
If you are a newly enrolled Core Program provider or did not have an active account on our old system on or after October 2023, you cannot access the new Provider Portal yet. Please stay tuned for more details!
How to Access the Provider Portal
Step 1: Complete the Registration Survey
Before accessing the portal, you must complete the registration form. The survey collects your business and contact information, verifies eligibility and initiates your registration process.
- Eligibility note: Only providers with FEINs that were associated with active accounts on or after October 2023 are currently eligible to register for the Provider Portal.
Step 2: Register Your Provider Portal Account
If you are eligible and have completed the registration form, you will receive an email that explains the next steps. These steps include visiting the registration site here to create your Provider Portal account:
Please note: to ensure your account is linked correctly, use the same email address you used to complete the registration survey.

Home Care Nursing Agencies
Our new claims processing system combines NurseNet and the new Provider Portal into a single, streamlined solution to make managing claims easier and more efficient. Its benefits include:
- Submitting Claims: Home Care nursing agencies can now submit nursing claims and explanations of benefits (EOBs) directly through the online portal. This new feature streamlines workflows for agencies still using paper or email claims, speeding up payments and reducing the time spent on administrative tasks.
- Reviewing Claims: Providers can review and monitor the status of submitted claims.
- Reviewing Vouchers/Remittances: Providers can view remittance details.
New Provider Portal Access Form
If your agency has not yet completed the Provider Portal Access form, please have a designated representative do so as soon as possible.
Please include all users your agency would like to access NurseNet, the Provider Portal or both. Once you sign the form electronically, it will automatically go to DSCC for review.
