Staying proficient with the QiReport system is vital for maintaining compliance and operational efficiency. This comprehensive guide provides clear, actionable information to help providers navigate the portal with confidence, from initial setup to advanced features and troubleshooting.

Ensuring Readiness for Your QiReport Provider Account

• NCID Account: All users must possess an individualized NCID username and password. This is the standard identity management and access service provided by the Office of Information Technology Services for state, local, business, and citizen users in North Carolina.
• Provider Registration Form: PCS agencies or facilities must complete and submit the official PCS Provider Registration Form for QiRePort. This form registers agency staff or designated representatives as QiReport users and organizes access around National Provider Identifier (NPI) numbers with 3-digit locator codes.
• Agency/Facility Identification: The registration form requires complete agency/facility identification and primary contact information, including two designated contacts responsible for communicating staff access changes to QiReport Support.
• NPI Numbers: A list of all agency/facility NPI numbers with 3-digit locator codes used for PCS billing must be provided during registration.
• Staff Access List: The registration form allows agencies to list up to five staff members who require access to beneficiary information across all their Medicaid billing NPI numbers.
• Internet Access: A reliable internet connection is necessary to access the web-based QiReport portal. It is recommended to use Internet Explorer for certain setup sessions.
