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 use their surrogacy system which allows you to work on your provider’s behalf using your own login. Failing to comply with these rules means that you are in violation of CMS requirements – not somewhere you want to be.
There are strict guidelines for proper completion and compliance for managing PECOS Medicare enrollment surrogacy 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 I&A and surrogacy accounts and how to set up connection requests to be able to access your provider enrollments in PECOS and their NPPES accounts which contain their NPI information. You will also learn to utilize the new multifactor authentication process and incorporate surrogacy access correctly the first time.
