What are the basic steps in completing a Provider Enrollment, Chain, and Ownership System (PECOS) Web application?
There are three basic steps to completing an enrollment action using Internet-based PECOS. Physicians, non-physician practitioners, groups and organizations must: • Have a National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES) User ID and password to use Internet-based PECOS. For security reasons, physicians and non-physician practitioners should change passwords periodically, at least once a year. For information on how to change a password, go to the NPPES Application Help page and select the “Reset Password Page” under the NPPES Application help page. • Go to Internet-based PECOS and complete, review, and submit the electronic enrollment application via Internet-based PECOS. • Print, sign and date the 2-page Certification Statement and mail the 2-page Certification Statement and all supporting paper documentation to the Medicare contractor within 7 days of the electronic submission.
