These edits will generate as a warning on the CEDI GENRPT until April 5, 2010. These errors/edits are in place as part of Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Change Request 6421 and related Medicare Learning Network (MLN) article MM6421 implemented with the October 2009 Release. CMS has completed the systematic loading of approximately 220,000 National Provider Identifiers (NPIs) to the existing PECOS records of providers who are eligible to order/refer. With this update to the PECOS records, CEDI has seen a drop in the number of warning messages being produced on the supplier s GENRPT.

CMS will replace this file on a periodic basis. At any given time, only the most current file will be available. When the file is available for download, CMS will post an announcement on the Ordering and Referring Provider page on the Medicare provider/supplier enrollment Web site: www.cms.hhs.gov/MedicareProviderSupEnroll. CMS will send notification of the availability of the file via the CMS provider and supplier listservs and will announce its availability at the appropriate CMS Provider/Supplier Open Door Forums. Should a supplier receive one of these warning errors/edits on a claim, CEDI recommends the following:Contact the Ordering/Referring Provider to verify their eligibility with PECOS.Contact the Ordering/Referring Provider to verify how their name is listed with their PECOS enrollment and ensure the name submitted on the claim matches the PECOS record.
