TL;DR: use your own login, and give your biller their own

Use your own eMedicaid User ID and email MFA. Your biller gets their own User account; the local administrator adds it and assigns the EVS service for the locations they may use. Enrollment through MPRIME and Carelon transactions use separate access routes. Official access guidance.

Who needs their own eMedicaid login

The administrator creates or authorizes user access; an administrator who needs to perform EVS transactions also needs a user account. Recommended handoff: give the biller their own authorized user and keep passwords private. EVS user requirements.

Use your own named User ID, password and email MFA; your biller needs a separate User account. EVS Help explicitly supports multiple authorized locations, with the user selecting the intended location. Never share your password — give your biller access to their own login instead. Official access guidance.

Before you create access

Confirm that the provider is enrolled and has a Medicaid provider number, then identify the local administrator. Keep the user’s email current for recovery and the published email-MFA process. eMedicaid registration instructions; MFA help.

Account setup steps

The public portal directs providers who already have a Medicaid provider number to register under Step 2. Its current links include Creating and Managing eMedicaid Accounts and EVS Help. Follow those instructions for transaction access rather than assuming an enrollment-portal account also opens EVS. Open the eMedicaid registration and help links.

The account guide says the provider must be enrolled to create a login. Its enrollment references still say ePREP, so use Maryland’s current transition instructions for the enrollment step. Read Creating and Managing eMedicaid Accounts.

Find MPRIME and ePREP enrollment access

After entering your own credentials, use the one-time passcode emailed to you, then select Verify OTP. Use Resend OTP if needed, and keep the code private. Official email MFA steps.

Add your biller/delegate

The practice’s local eMedicaid administrator adds the biller as a User and assigns the EVS service for the authorized locations. The biller signs in with their own User ID and email MFA. Use the User account and EVS service assignment for the biller’s eligibility work. Official user guidance.

Sign in as the local administrator and select Administrator Services at the bottom of the portal. Creating and Managing eMedicaid Accounts, Diagram C.

The linked account guide tells the administrator to use Administrator Services, then Add a New User. EVS Help adds a separate requirement: the local administrator must assign the EVS service to the authorized user. Creating the user alone is not the complete eligibility-access setup. See the administrator account instructions and EVS service-assignment instructions.

If Recipient Eligibility Verification is missing, contact the local eMedicaid administrator. The EVS help page also says an administrator who needs to use EVS must register themselves as a user. Read the EVS access requirements.

Recommended handoff: have the biller sign in with their authorized account and confirm that the intended location and Recipient Eligibility Verification link are available. Keep account creation and EVS assignment as separate checklist items until both work.

Login errors & lockouts

Use Forgot Your Password on the official portal. Recovery requires the User ID, name and email to match the account record. If the profile has no email, the reset page directs you to the local administrator. Official password reset.

For a locked user account, ask the administrator; for an administrator lockout, follow the official help page’s contact instructions. The password-rule notice also describes temporary failed-login locks and reset-based unlocking. Administrator and user help; Published password/lockout notice.

How to verify Maryland Medicaid eligibility in EVS

The official EVS help page gives this inquiry sequence. Complete it only in the authorized portal and keep patient information in your approved practice systems. See the official inquiry instructions.

1. Select Recipient Eligibility Verification.

2. Choose a location if you are authorized at multiple locations; a single authorized location is preselected.

3. Enter the recipient’s last name as shown on the Medical Assistance card.

4. Enter the Maryland Medical Assistance number OR Social Security number, not both.

5. For a past service, enter the historical date. If left blank, EVS uses the current date.

Use the service date, not a future appointment date

Maryland directs authorized providers to verify eligibility before rendering a service. EVS cannot check future eligibility and can check past services up to one year ago. MDH EVS guidance.

Recommended workflow: an advance scheduling check and a service-date check answer different questions. If a future appointment is outside EVS’s supported date range, leave a task to check at the appropriate time. For an older claim, use the actual service date so today’s status does not get substituted for the historical inquiry.

Maryland also provides phone EVS at 1-866-710-1447. You need an NPI or provider number to access it. Use that official route when appropriate rather than guessing at eligibility from a card alone. See phone EVS instructions.

What to check after eligibility

Recommended next step: document the inquiry date, service date and result in your approved workflow. Then check the applicable service, enrollment and authorization requirements. An eligibility response should not be treated as evidence that every other claim condition is satisfied.

Determine whether the service belongs to Carelon PBHS or HealthChoice
