If you’re managing and accessing the Provider Enrollment, Chain and Ownership System records through your practitioner’s login, you’re not complying with the requirements of CMS.
The rules of CMS strictly forbid second parties to use logins of their providers to perform any action in PECOS, no matter if you are authorizing, updating, managing, or verifying your information.
The proper way to operate is with a surrogacy system through which you can work on someone else’s behalf while using your login.
This system comes with strict guidelines which help with compliance and proper completion. However, this process can be extremely complex. This is why we’ve decided to give you the help you need to go through this process.
At Training Leader, we have several enrollment experts that can help you with this process. We have an established online training course that lasts 90 minutes and will help you learn how PECOS connection requests are set up as well as how you can gain your surrogacy access.
After the course, you will also know how to easily and successfully manage several practitioner accounts and platforms while ensuring that you are fully compliant the whole time. Additionally, you will be able to do this with a single login.
Our 90-minute online course offers an abundance of helpful information with proper guidance and explanations from our experts. Here are just some of the things you will learn from our CMS healthcare PECOS 90-minute lesson:
- Adding new, changing current, and terminating unwanted providers for the login
- Learning how to reach compliance with all the rules set for accessing the PECOS I&A management system
- Knowing the right designation for your needs: Staff End User, Delegated, or Authorized Official

When you complete this training course, you will have the knowledge to effectively and accurately use the I&A management system of PECOS and ensure the compliance of all regulations for Medical enrollment. At the same time, this will allow you to manage any cash flow disruptions or user deactivations with ease.
When you know how to use PECOS properly, you will be able to save valuable resources and time. With just several clicks, you can instantly gain access to information about your practitioners, update it, and verify their accounts without any complications.
