I/DD Provider Enrollment and Maintenance System

A new provider enrollment and maintenance system for intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) services is coming to Oregon.

The system will make it easier to license and enroll providers. It will also help keep provider credentials up to date.

What is the Provider Enrollment and Maintenance System (PEMS)?

PEMS is a new system to manage the credentials and licensing of providers. There will be two parts, or “modules,” to this system.

The first module, the Universal Provider Portal, will be for individual providers.

The second module, the Agency Module, will be for agencies that provide developmental disabilities services to Oregonians. This includes residential care homes, DD foster homes, supported living programs and several other types of service providers. The Agency Module is planned for later in the project and more information will be shared as that time gets closer.
