DDE, PPTN, and CSI Medicare System Security Semi Annual Review

In accordance with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), NAS is required to perform a periodic review of system access for all Direct Data Entry (DDE), Professional Provider Telecommunication Network (PPTN), and Claims Status Inquiry (CSI) users. During the month of January and July each provider will be faxed a listing of their active users along with the Provider Transaction Access Number (PTAN)/ National Provider Identifier (NPI) numbers each user accesses. It is the responsibility of the facility contact person to respond to the user/PTAN/NPI listing. Failure to respond within the allotted timeframe will result in removal of access for all users.
Take Action Now to Prepare for the Medicare DMEPOS Competitive Bidding Program SE0915

In order to participate in the 2009 Round 1 Rebid of the DMEPOS Competitive Bidding Program, suppliers will be required to register in the CMS security system known as the Individuals Authorized Access to the CMS Computer Services (IACS). This includes suppliers that bid in the first round of competition in 2007 and are interested in competing in the Round 1 Rebid. CMS urges suppliers' planning to bid in the 2009 bidding cycle to be sure that they have provided the NSC an updated CMS-855S (Medicare Enrollment Application), with any changes made concerning their Authorized Official(s) information and correspondence mailing address which have occurred since their last CMS-855S submission. The accuracy of this data is critical for successful bidder registration.
