Industry Note:

CMS Troubleshoots PECOS System Problems,

Published on Fri Feb 24, 2012

You should find changes to the PECOS system that now make it easier to use, claims the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. "Over the last year, we have listened to your feedback" about PECOS, CMS says in a listserv message to providers. "As a result, we've made upgrades in order to reduce data entry time and increase access to information." For example: "You now have the ability to digitally sign and certify the application," CMS cheers. And "you can see if a request for revalidation has been sent by your MAC." You can also quickly update and resubmit an application returned for correction, CMS points out. "Be on the look-out for more enhancements in the coming months," CMS says.
