The Puerto Rico Secretary of Labor and Human Resources issued guidance discussing the basic elements employers are required to include in their plans to limit employee exposure to COVID-19. These required elements are in compliance with the Puerto Rico Safety and Health in Employment Act (PROSHA).
MMM requires all providers, at office Tax ID level, to apply for a PROSHA Certification pursuant to Executive Order 2020-038 issued by the Governor on May 1, 2020.
This executive order allows certain commercial businesses to resume operations as long as they prepare COVID-19 Exposure Control Plans and submit to the Puerto Rico Department of Labor and Human Resources a self-certification that the business has done so. These businesses must also provide their employees with the required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

Just like you, Envolve Vision takes the detection, investigation, and prosecution of fraud, waste, and abuse seriously. We perform ongoing claims audits that in some cases may result in taking actions against those providers who, individually or as a practice, commit fraud, waste, or abuse. We make it easier for you to report any fraud-related concerns with a new email address for our Special Investigation Unit (SIU). This new mailbox will be used for fraud-related referrals, SIU inquiries, and provider correspondence.
Please use EBOSIU@envolvehealth.com going forward to make sure your concerns are handled as quickly as possible.
Medicaid and Medicare members should not be billed for services including fees to cover the costs of Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) such as infection control fee, biohazard fee, miscellaneous fee, etc.
