Enrollment record in PECOS? how to verify
I am a physician. How can I tell if I have an enrollment
record in the Provider Enrollment, Chain and Ownership System (PECOS)?
There are three ways to verify that you have an enrollment
record in PECOS:
1. Check the Ordering Referring Report on the CMS website.
If you are on that report, you have a current enrollment record in PECOS. Go to
http://www.cms.gov/MedicareProviderSupEnroll, click on "Ordering Referring
Report" on the left.
2. Use Internet-based PECOS to look for your PECOS
enrollment record. If no record is displayed, you do not have an enrollment
record in PECOS. Go to http://www.cms.gov/MedicareProviderSupEnroll , click on
"Internet-based PECOS" on the left.
3. Contact your designated Medicare enrollment contractor
and ask if you have an enrollment record in PECOS. Go to
http://www.cms.gov/MedicareProviderSupEnroll , click on "Medicare
Fee-For-Service Contact Information" under "Downloads."
Note: If you have submitted an enrollment application within
the last 90 days, and your enrollment application has been accepted for
processing by the carrier or A/B MAC, you need not take any additional actions
based on this listserv message.
NOTE for physicians who reassign all their Medicare benefits
to a group/clinic: If you reassign all of your Medicare benefits to a
group/clinic, the group/clinic must have an enrollment record in PECOS in order
for you to enroll via the web. You should check with the officials of the
group/clinic or with your designated Medicare enrollment contractor if you are
not sure if the group/clinic has an enrollment record in PECOS. If the
group/clinic does not have an enrollment record in PECOS, you will not be able
to use the web to submit your enrollment application to Medicare. You will need
to submit a paper application.
Tips on how to enroll in PECOS can be found at:
www.cms.hhs.gov/MedicareProviderSupEnroll on the CMS website.
