If you are questioning whether or not you are in PECOS, simply download the excel file below and do a search for your NPI number/name.  This list is current as of 1/06/2011 and will be updated periodically as updated lists are provided by CMS.  If you receive a referral from a physician not in PECOS, your claim will likely be denied.  PECOS is very important and cause issues with your Medicare payments if the application is completed incorrectly.

PECOS Deadline now July 1st

Monday, June 21st, 2010

It is important to note that this deadline could once again be extended to January but we recommend taking care of this requirement now.

An interim final rule issued by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) requires physicians and other eligible professionals (EPs) who order or refer most types of covered Medicare services and items to have an active record in the Provider Enrollment, Chain, and Ownership System (PECOS) much sooner than expected. A group of medical associations continues to urge CMS to reconsider the recent ruling.

PECOS Closed March 29th-April 5th

Monday, March 29th, 2010

Remember that PECOS will be closed for maintenance starting today through April 5th. We confirmed that today that this should not affect any pending Medicare enrollment applications processed through PECOS prior to March 29th. We as many other organizations utilize PECOS for our provider applications and appreciate them taking the time to address some of the bugs in the system.

PECOS is utilized for Provider/Supplier Enrollment applications and uses your NPI login information. If you are not enrolled in PECOS, this is the year to fix that. You basically need to revalidate your enrollment record if you are not currently listed in PECOS.

CMS Delays Ordering/Referring PECOS Regulation Until 2011

Okay so you have some breathing room but — don’t wait until the end of the year, CMS reps say.

Practices that have been struggling to make sure that their ordering/referring physicians’ national provider identifiers (NPIs) were in the PECOS system can now relax a little bit – at least until next year.

Medicare Referring Provider Documentation

Posted by: | Comments (0)
Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

If you have already registered with PECOS here is the documentation from CMS providing you with the List of Providers who are also registered in PECOS.  It is important to remember that a provider you refer to must also be in PECOS or you risk having your claim denied by Medicare.  This is working out to be very similar to the NPI transition a few years ago which everyone should remember with different phases and penalties.  Will they ever stop changing things, I guess for the sake of our business we should hope not…
