CMS News Alert - Provider Enrollment Revalidation
Aug 19, 2011
(reposted from CMS
Provider Resource)
All providers and suppliers who
enrolled in the Medicare program prior to Friday, March 25, 2011, will be
required to submit their enrollment information so they can be revalidated
under new risk screening criteria required by the Affordable Care Act (section
6401a). Providers/suppliers who enrolled on or after Friday, March
25, 2011 have already been subject to this screening, and need not revalidate
at this time.
Do NOT submit your revalidation until
you are notified to do so by your MAC. You will receive a notice to
revalidate between now and March 2013.
This will allow MACs to process
revalidations in a timely fashion and allow providers to take advantage of
innovative technologies and streamlined enrollment processes now under
development. Updates will be shared with the provider community as
these efforts progress.
For more information about
provider revalidation, review the Medicare Learning Network’s SpecialEdition Article #SE1126, titled “Further
Details on the Revalidation of Provider Enrollment Information.”
