CMS-855S application
The Provider Enrollment, Chain, and Ownership System (PECOS) is the best option to complete and submit your enrollment applications. PECOS supports the Medicare supplier enrollment process by allowing registered users to securely submit and manage Medicare enrollment information online.
If you utilize paper applications, continue to use the current CMS-855S form found on our website; however, disregard the address listed on page 4 of the application advising to send the application to the National Supplier Clearinghouse (NSC). We will notify you via our eNews email when the new form is available, how to access it, and the updated address to submit your CMS-855S applications.
What happens to my application upon transition?
If you are within the eastern state region for DMEPOS, your existing enrollment record will be transferred to Novitas in PECOS. If you are within western state region for DMEPOS, your existing enrollment record will be transferred to Palmetto GBA in PECOS.
On November 7, any application still in progress or under review will be transferred from the NSC to Novitas Solutions and Palmetto GBA and receive a new document control number (DCN). A Novitas/Palmetto representative will communicate your new DCN by calling or emailing the contact person listed on the application. There is no action required from you!
