Tax identification number (TIN)

You don’t need to fill out a new application if you’re:

 

  • An existing contracted provider updating your tax ID number (TIN)
  • Adding another location under a different TIN

Just complete these steps:

 

  • Send us a letter (on company letterhead) with details of the TIN change request. You can email us. Or you can fax us: 1-860-754-5435. Include your name and service location information.
  • Include a copy of the new W-9, if applicable. If you’re contracted as a group, send a group W-9. Otherwise, just send an individual W-9.   

After you send us your materials and information, we’ll process the change or contact you for more details. 

 

If you don’t receive a confirmation email for the change, contact your Provider Relations representative. Check this Provider Relations representative territory map (PDF) to learn more.
