Check Revalidation List For Your Name
If you miss your revalidation request, you’re risking your Medicare participation. Double-check to see whether you need to be submitting revalidation materials.
Reminder: The Affordable Care Act established a requirement for all enrolled providers and suppliers to revalidate their enrollment information under new enrollment screening criteria, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services says on its website. “This revalidation effort applies to those providers and suppliers that were enrolled prior to March 25, 2011.” Providers enrolled since that date aren’t affected.
CMS has posted a listing of the providers and suppliers who have been selected to revalidate and should be receiving a revalidation notice from their Medicare contractor within the next 60 days, it says on its website. “This list will be updated periodically after new revalidation lists are provided to the MACs,” the MAC says.
The listing is at www.cms.gov/Medicare/Provider-Enrollment-and-Certification/MedicareProviderSupEnroll/Revalidations.html — scroll down to the “Downloads” section.
If you are listed but haven’t received your validation request, contact your MAC.
