Dear RHC,

We have clinics that are receiving the attached letter from CMS and wondering what it is (see the attached letter example).

If the entity/owner information in the appendix of the letter is accurate for the Tax ID, then no further action is needed. CMS will automatically apply the ownership information to all enrollments under the Tax ID.

However, if the ownership information listed is inaccurate, submit a change of info CMS855 online via PECOS or paper CMS-855 to your jurisdiction’s MAC to update your enrollment information within 30 days of receiving the letter so that they match in the enrollment system otherwise CMS will change the TIN information within their system to the most recent submission. The clinic may want to reach out to the MAC for further clarification on what is in the system and which 855A form to submit (CMS855A or CMS855B or both).

Our credentialing specialists are ready to assist you with this credentialing. Let us know if you need help and would like a credentialing quote.

If you have questions about this letter, please contact us at info.
