Many DME suppliers are sending notices out to physicians requiring them to complete their PECOS registration online by July 6, 2010. As many of you know, we have been working over the last few months to make sure our clients are current with PECOS in advance of that deadline.
Currently the PECOS online system is being inundated by applicants & is not working correctly all of the time. In addition, during business hours, the PECOS system is very, very slow and frequently kicks the applicant out of the system because it has “timed itself out”.
In speaking with CMS, PECOS & DME today, I was made aware that the PECOS deadline is July 6, 2011. If any DME supplier is requesting you to complete PECOS by 7/6/10, please refer them to CMS, PECOS or DME for the correct deadline – next year!
In the meantime, we will continue to finish our clients on PECOS well in advance of the 2011 deadline. If you need any assistance or have any questions about any of this, please contact me.
If you are not our client, you need to be, the next two years will be quite the credentialing ride.
