An application denial can delay business operations while a PTAN revocation can completely stall cash flow. And, as the next round of competitive bidding approaches, suppliers that do not have proper licensure and reporting in PECOS may find themselves inable to meet program qualifications, leaving them disqualified to submit and participate in the program. The CMS considers provider enrollment a method to control fraud and abuse, which means it is even more critical to understand the information being reported…or not. In this session, resident provider enrollment experts Kelly Grahovac, Denise Leard, Lisa Wells, and Tim Safley will explain how to complete and report changes on your enrollment file to ensure interruptions to operations and cash flow don’t affect your HME business. Getting your business accredited is only step one. Learn how you can prepare for your CMS site inspection and pass with flying colors! Ensure your organization meets competitive bidding program qualifications. Time will also be spent reviewing common denial and revocation reasons.Show MoreClick the title to see all details
