CMS Requiring Hospital Provider Enrollment Revalidation
June 08, 2010
Hospitals not identified in CMS' on-line enrollment system will be required to revalidate enrollment information when billing for Medicare starting on July 4, according to a transmittal from CMS.
Hospitals are required to revalidate their Medicare enrollment information every five years.
Medicare administrative contractors and fiscal intermediaries have been instructed not to revoke billing numbers for noncompliant hospitals but report them to CMS instead.
