Manage My Practice

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will hold a Special Open Door Forum (ODF) to discuss Medicare provider enrollment issues. During this call, CMS staff will discuss:

• The May 5, 2010 provider enrollment regulation titled, “Medicare and Medicaid Programs; Changes in Provider and Supplier Enrollment, Ordering and Referring, and Documentation Requirements; and Changes in Provider Agreements (CMS-6010-IFC)”
• Medicare ordering and referring issues, including physician notification
• Documentation requirements
• Internet-based Provider Enrollment, Chain and Ownership System (PECOS)
• Physician, non-physician practitioner, provider and supplier organizations
• Upcoming availability of Internet-based PECOS for DMEPOS suppliers
• Pharmacy accreditation issues
• Advanced diagnostic imaging accreditation
• Provider and supplier reporting responsibilities
• Revalidation efforts

Afterwards, there will be an opportunity for the public to ask questions.
