The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced that submitting and tracking Medicare Enrollment applications in the Provider Enrollment, Chain, and Ownership System (PECOS) is about to get easier and faster. Starting this summer, PECOS will have several new online features including:
- A single application for multiple enrollments
- Pre-population of data and an application that’s tailored to the provider’s unique situation
- Enhanced capability to add or delete group members
- Real-time processing checks and status updates
- Re-validation reminders
The PECOS redesign is expected to include a robust knowledge base with content to help answer questions about enrollment, how to use all the new features, and more.
CMS plans to provide regular updates on the PECOS redesign over the coming months.
