Medicare Enrollment Support
Full support through CMS enrollment, including PECOS submission and PTAN issuance, so your billing operation has a properly enrolled foundation.
A DME supplier can have every other part of the business ready and still be unable to bill Medicare a single dollar, because nothing moves under a PTAN until PECOS enrollment actually clears. PECOS 2.0 now validates data in real time, and a discrepancy that used to surface quietly can now trigger an immediate payment freeze.
How We Manage Every Stage of Medicare Enrollment
The foundation every other Medicare claim depends on, walked through stage by stage.
Document Preparation
The CMS-855S asks for exacting information, ownership structure, location, licensure, and any mismatch against what CMS already has on file becomes a discrepancy real-time validation will flag immediately.
Ownership or address details don’t precisely match CMS’s existing records.
Every data point is reconciled against current CMS records before submission.
CMS-855S Submission
An incomplete or improperly formatted submission doesn’t just get rejected, it often sits indistinguishable from an application actually progressing normally.
An application appears to be moving but is stalled by a formatting issue nobody caught.
Applications are prepared to current requirements, and status is actively tracked.
PECOS Tracking
Once submitted, an application can sit in PECOS with no outbound notification if something needs attention. Under real-time validation, silence can mean a discrepancy is quietly accumulating.
An application sits with no active monitoring, and a mismatch goes unnoticed.
We monitor status in PECOS directly and proactively, not waiting on a notification.
CMS Response Handling
A request for additional information comes with a deadline, and missing it can mean restarting significant portions of the process rather than simply continuing.
A CMS request goes unanswered past deadline, forcing large parts to restart.
Requests are answered within the window, every time, with what CMS is actually asking for.
PTAN Issuance & Ongoing Monitoring
Getting the PTAN isn’t the finish line. Under PECOS 2.0, an unreconciled address or ownership change can trigger a Stay of Enrollment, an automatic payment freeze, with no warning.
A small operational change goes unreported, and validation flags it and freezes payment.
Enrollment data is maintained continuously, so discrepancies are caught by us first.
Common Questions
What’s actually different now that PECOS 2.0 is live?
Validation happens in real time instead of at the next scheduled review. A mismatch that used to surface quietly can now trigger an immediate payment freeze, a Stay of Enrollment, the moment it’s detected.
How long does PTAN issuance typically take?
It depends heavily on whether the initial application is complete and whether any CMS request is answered quickly. Most delay comes from applications sitting in review, not the process itself being slow.
Do you monitor our enrollment after the PTAN is issued?
Yes, ongoing monitoring is part of the same engagement. Treating enrollment as a one-time task rather than a maintained record is exactly the gap that creates payment freezes later.
What happens if our enrollment gets flagged with a Stay of Enrollment?
We identify the specific discrepancy and work to resolve it directly, and because we track continuously, we often catch the issue before it triggers a freeze at all.
Is this only for new suppliers, or do you help with revalidation too?
Both. Revalidation carries the same real-time validation exposure as initial enrollment.
