Provider and Supplier Organizations - Have you tried Internet-based PECOS for your Medicare enrollment actions?
It's easy to use and offers a host of advantages over the paper-based enrollment process. [Note that Internet-based PECOS is not yet available for suppliers of durable medical equipment, prosthetics, orthotics, and supplies (DMEPOS). The system will be available for use by DMEPOS suppliers later this year.] Did you know that you can submit an initial Medicare enrollment application, along with other enrollment actions, using the Internet-based Provider Enrollment Chain and Ownership System (Internet-based PECOS) instead of the traditional paper application? And, did you know that Internet-based PECOS can be faster than the paper application process by up to 50-percent (with a 30- to 45-day processing window, versus 60 days for the paper-based process)? Using Internet-based PECOS Is Easy! Learn how to use the system by visiting the Getting Started Guide for Provider and Supplier Organizations <http://www.cms.gov/MedicareProviderSupEnroll/Downloads/OrganizationGett ingStarted.pdf> . Remember, creating a record in Internet-based PECOS can take several weeks for an organization provider. It is recommended that you begin this process (if necessary) well in advance of any upcoming enrollment actions. For more information on this setup process, visit our Provider and Supplier Organization Overview <http://www.cms.gov/MedicareProviderSupEnroll/Downloads/OrganizationOver view.pdf> . Don't wait - Set your organization free from paper - Start using Internet-based PECOS today! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------- Note: If you have problems accessing any hyperlink in this message, please copy and paste the URL into your Internet browser.
