When onboarding a new physician to your practice, your process must be flawless. The slightest mistake can result in significant reimbursement delays – or worse, payer rule violations.

To get your new provider up to speed fast, there are a million details you must get right the first time. Failure to do so can significantly delay a new provider from being eligible to see patients and get paid. Even simple errors can get your set-up/transfer documents thrown out, and then you have to go through the entire process all over again.

It is vital that your new physician starts to see patients and get paid as soon as possible. You can make this happen by attending this online training presented by practice management expert, David J. Zetter, PHR, SHRM-CP, CHCC, CPCO, CPC, COC, PCS, FCS, CHBC, CMUP, PESC, CMAP, CMAPA, CMMP.

You can speed up your billing process and get paid more quickly. David’s upcoming online training will give you the proven tactics you need to make this happen.


PART 3: PECOS: Master CMS Surrogacy Enrollment Requirements

Order the On-Demand Recording to Watch at Your Convenience.

CMS specifically prohibits you from using your provider’s PECOS (Provider Enrollment, Chain and Ownership System) login to manage, verify, update or authorize their Medicare enrollments.

Instead, the Agency wants you to set up a PECOS Surrogacy enrollment account which allows you to work on your provider’s behalf using your own login. Failing to comply with these rules, means that you are NOT in compliance with CMS requirements – not somewhere you want to be.

There are strict guidelines for proper completion and compliance for managing Medicare PECOS surrogacy enrollment accounts, which means the accurate set-up of connection requests and access can be complex and confusing.

This is where enrollment expert and educator, David J. Zetter, PHR, SHRM-CP, CHC, CPCO, CPC, COC, PCS, FCS, CHBC, CMUP, PESC, CMAP, CMAPA, CMMP, CMHP, can help. During his 60-minute online training, David will walk you through how to set up your Identity & Access Management System (I&A) and Surrogacy accounts, so you get it right the first time. You’ll get step-by-step advice on how to set up connection requests that allow you to access multiple systems (PECOS, NPPES, & NPI). Also, you’ll receive instruction on how to utilize the multifactor authentication process.


PART 4: Speed Medicare Enrollment (855I/855R) Approval & Payments

Order the On-Demand Recording to Watch at Your Convenience.

You have no choice. You must complete your Medicare provider enrollment forms 855I and 855R correctly, down to the letter, the first time, or risk not being paid.

Whether you use PECOS (Provider Enrollment, Chain, and Ownership System) or submit your Medicare provider enrollment forms manually, missing even one small step can have disastrous consequences for BOTH your new and existing providers. This is especially important considering the recent changes to the PECOS submission process.

Even a small blunder can bring your Medicare reimbursement to a halt – or worse, result in your providers not being able to see Medicare patients at all. Side-stepping the commonplace pitfalls that occur during the complex Medicare provider enrollment process is not easy. However, it is necessary if you want to get your new providers approved quickly and maintain your existing providers’ ability to be reimbursed by Medicare.

Fortunately, you don’t have to figure this out on your own…

This is where enrollment expert, Dreama Sloan-Kelly, MD, CCS, CPC, can help. During this online training session, Dr. Sloan-Kelly walk you through each part of the PECOS-driven CMS Forms 855I and 855R step-by-step. In only 60 minutes, you’ll receive proven strategies to ensure you get it right the first time.
