CMS Revises CMS-855 Medicare Enrollment Applications

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services recently posted revised CMS-855 Medicare enrollment application forms on the CMS website.  With the exception of providers enrolling as a specialty hospital, a MLNMatters article indicates that Medicare contractors will continue to accept the 2006 version of the Medicare enrollment application through June 2008. However, the MLNMatters article indicates that providers and suppliers should begin to use the new Medicare enrollment applications immediately.  For more information (including information on significant revisions), see the MLNMatters article and the revised CMS-855 Medicare enrollment application forms.
