Medicare Revalidations are back in full force after a brief pause during the height of the COVID-19 Pandemic. All healthcare providers and suppliers are required to revalidate their Medicare enrollment every 3-5 years per CMS’ request. Medicare has implemented new revalidation screening criteria that you will need to be aware of. Missing this important deadline will have significant financial consequences on your medical practice! In today’s webinar, we will discuss the revalidation process, how to use the revalidation tool, necessary documentation to have on-hand, submission instructions, best practices, common pitfalls, and so much more.
Medicare revalidation applications are tedious, time-consuming, and confusing. Without the proper guidance, a provider can miss important details like revalidation cycle, PECOS requirements, taxonomy designations, surrogacy designations, and PAR vs. NON-PAR status.
