2010In early October, 2009 The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) began Phase I to implement an expanded claim process to verify that the ordering/referring provider on a claim is eligible to order/refer and is enrolled in Medicare. Phase 1 provides a warning edit. Phase 2 results in unpaid claims.
In both phases, they determine if the ordering/referring provider on the claim matches the providers in the national PECOS file: CEDI will verify the National Provider Identifier (NPI) of the ordering/referring provider reported on the claim against the national PECOS file.
Phase 2 has been delayed until April 5, 2010.
Phase 2 - CEDI and VMS will still receive a national file from PECOS and will determine if the ordering/referring provider is required for the billed service. If the billed service requires an ordering/referring provider and the ordering/referring provider is not on the claim, the claim will not be paid. If the ordering/referring provider is on the claim, CEDI will verify that the ordering/referring provider is on the national PECOS file. If the ordering/referring provider is not on the national PECOS file, the claim will not be paid.
