List of Referring and Ordering Physicians in PECOS is now Available Online

November 18, 2010

All physicians who order and refer services are required to be enrolled in the Medicare enrollment database known as PECOS. To make this transition easier on physician practices, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has now posted a list of physicians who are already enrolled in the PECOS system or who are in the process of enrolling on its website.

Physicians who refer or order and who are not yet enrolled in PECOS are strongly encouraged to start this process immediately. While CMS is not yet rejecting claims where referring / ordering physicians are listed but not yet in PECOS, they plan to do so in the future. To learn more about the Medicare enrollment database visit the AMA website at www.ama-assn.org/go/regrelief and select "Medicare enrollment."
