Medicare Provider Enrollment Services

We specialize in all aspects of Medicare Enrollment and will work to quickly and correctly enroll you with your local Medicare administrator.  We can also provide assistance if your Medicare application has been delayed or returned due to errors on your end or on the part of the enrollment analyst at Medicare.  Medicare issues can cost you thousands of dollars in lost revenue if done incorrectly. We understand the Medicare enrollment rules and take regular classes to keep our understanding up-to-date.   Many physicians think that because they’re participating in one state or under a different practice, that those credentials follow you to the next organization. No matter how simple the move or if you’re only working out of a new office next door to your current one, there is always some type of Medicare application that is needed before you can start seeing patients.

When do you need a Medicare credentialing service?

Here are some common scenarios where a Medicare enrollment specialist is helpful:

  1. Did you open a new practice location?  Have you notified Medicare so you can bill for the services?
  2. Did a physician leave your practice in the past?  Are you aware that Medicare must be notified of this change?
  3. Have you changed billing companies?  This new agency must be on file with Medicare.
  4. Did you have a change of ownership?  This must also be provided to Medicare.
  5. Are your claims being denied and you are not sure why?
  6. Are you opening an office and not sure where to start?
  7. Would you like to bill for DME but don’t have a supplier number?

PECOS for Medicare Applications

We highly recommend utilizing PECOS for all Medicare applications.  This is primarily due to the timeline associated with PECOS applications vs those completed on paper.  If you read the Medicare processing guidelines, you’ll find that the Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) have twice as long to process paper applications vs any application completed using PECOS.  This is according to the rules laid out my CMS and is something you can reference if the application processing timeline extends beyond 90 days.  We also prefer PECOS due to the error checking and address validation feature.  It audits your enrollment application to verify that you’ve completed all of the fields and further validates that you’re using the correct Group NPI.  For more information on PECOS or to complete a Medicare application using their system, visit their website at: https://pecos.cms.hhs.gov/pecos/login.do
