Industry Note:

Know Which Revalidation Letter To Disregard

Published on Fri Jan 06, 2012

If you're still working your way through a backlog of mail you received over the holidays, don't be surprised to see a revalidation letter that isn't yours. But that doesn't mean you're off the hook for revalidating. HHH MAC CGS mailed revalidation letters dated Dec. 20, 2011, to all HHAs with a Provider Transaction Access Number (PTAN) beginning with 01 through 29, the MAC explains in an e-mail to providers. Letters were mailed to the provider's special payments address. Oops: Just to make doubly sure, CGS also mailed a second letter to the provider's practice location address.

"Therefore, there is no need for providers to contact CGS to report that they received another provider's letter," the MAC advises.
