Medicare Plans Upgrades To The Clunky PECOS System
Published on Fri Feb 03, 2023
If you find the PECOS enrollment system a drag, there’s good news. “Submitting and tracking Medicare Enrollment applications in PECOS is about to get easier and faster,” the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services pledges. “Starting this summer, PECOS will have features to better meet your needs,” CMS tells providers in a new message. The changes will include a single application for multiple enrollments; pre-population of data; and real-time processing checks, CMS says. More details are at www.cms.gov/medicare/ provider-enrollment-and-certification/introducing-pecos-20.
