Clarification of Provider Enrollment Revalidation

Tuesday, November 8th, 2011

The American Medical Association (AMA) has advised local medical societies and physicians that they have met with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) regarding the enrollment revalidation process. In their letter the AMA stated that the CMS director agreed to extend the provider enrollment revalidation process through 2015.

CMS has indicated in the Medicare Learning Network (MLN) Matters Special Edition (SE) article SE1126, that it may be appropriate to delay; however there has been no delay to 2015 that has been formally announced by CMS. If CMS were to delay the final compliance date of revalidation into 2015, the process will still continue.

If you have received a revalidation request letter from National Government Services you are still required to complete your enrollment forms for revalidation and return them to National Government Services within 60 days from the date of the letter as the letter indicates. National Government Services is working toward sending the second letter soon. If you receive a letter during that phase you will also need to comply within 60 days from the date of the letter and revalidate your provider number by sending in a fully completed CMS-855. Failure to do so may lead to deactivation of your Provider Transaction Access Number (PTAN) and billing privileges to Medicare.

Note: Please remember that the revalidation process does not change or alter normal provider enrollment laws for Medicare. If you have a change of address, reassignments, additions to practice, changes in authorized officials or other information updates you are still required to submit that change within 30 days. You cannot wait for revalidation to update your enrollment record. That is not in compliance with Medicare regulation.

Please Remember:

1. CMS has not delayed any timeframes in the revalidation process.
2. If you receive a revalidation letter you must submit your fully completed application within 60 days from the date of the letter.
3. Failure to reply to the revalidation request may lead to suspension of Medicare billing.
4. If a change occurs, you must update the information to your enrollment record

For more information about the enrollment process and required fees, refer to MLN Matters article MM7350, which is available at: http://www.cms.gov/MLNMattersArticles/downloads/MM7350.pdf on the CMS Web site.

For more information about the application fee payment process, refer to MLN Matters article SE1130, which is available at http://www.cms.gov/MLNMattersArticles/downloads/SE1130.pdf on the CMS Web site.

The MLN fact sheet titled “The Basics of Internet-based Provider Enrollment, Chain and Ownership System (PECOS) for Provider and Supplier Organizations” is designed to provide education to provider and supplier organizations on how to use Internet-based PECOS to enroll in the Medicare Program and can be found at http://www.cms.gov/MLNProducts/downloads/MedEnroll_PECOS_ProviderSup_FactSheet_ICN903767.pdf on the CMS Web site.

To access PECOS, your Authorized Official must register with the PECOS Identification and Authentication system. To register for the first time go to https://pecos.cms.hhs.gov/pecos/PecosIAConfirm.do?transferReason=CreateLogin to create an account.
