Medicare Provider Enrollment: Revalidation Required
Posted by: Johanna M. Novak
Health care reform law requires that providers who enrolled in Medicare prior to March 25, 2011, submit enrollment revalidation information upon request by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS") or its contractors. Any provider that fails to submit the requested revalidation information within 60 days of receiving such a request risks interruption or deactivation of Medicare billing privileges. Revalidation for all providers who enrolled in Medicare prior to the above date will occur between now and March of 2015 on a steady basis. Providers can check the lists provided at CMS's website to determine if they were already sent a revalidation notice that was perhaps overlooked in the mail.
