CMS wants to streamline provider enrollment for unlicensed residents in another effort to reduce administrative burdens.
According to MLN Matters SE 18008, MACs began processing the form CMS-855O for “provider enrollment applications submitted for unlicensed residents” on June 17, said the release.
“If the application submission includes either, 1) a Residency Contract signed and dated by both an official of the institution and the Resident Physician or, 2) a letter, on institution letterhead, confirming the applicants status as a Resident Physician signed and dated by an official of the institution and containing at a minimum the name of the applicant,” the agency added.
