Enrollment Process
  1. Download the MPHI companion guide and determine which services you’re organization is interested in using.
    • Real-Time Web-Service (RESTful Web-Service)
    • Batch Web-Service (SOAP Web-Service)
  2. Enroll as a Provider or Billing Agent in CHAMPS.
    Note: Clearinghouse vendors need to enroll as a Billing Agent and be associated with the Providers they represent to be able to submit HIPAA 270/271 transactions on their behalf.
  3. Complete MPHI’s online registration form.
