Over the last year, CMS has listened to your feedback about the Medicare online 
enrollment system (PECOS) and made improvements to:

 *   Incorporate search capabilities on the My Enrollments page
 *   Increase access to information, and
 *   Allow electronic signature of the Certification Statement and Electronic 
Funds Transfer Agreement.

The following upgrades are now available:

Overall Usability
Users will now have a search and filter feature that will allow the user to 
filter enrollments on the My Enrollments Page. Users will be able to filter the 
enrollments shown on the My Enrollments Page based on: Medicare ID, National 
Provider Identifier (NPI), or by selecting an Enrollment Type, Enrollment 
Status, or State. Additional data has been added to the enrollment data on the 
My Enrollments Page, i.e. Enrollment Type, Medicare ID, and Practice Location.

Access to More Information
Users will also be able to see if a request for revalidation has been sent by 
the Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC).  A "Revalidation Notice Sent" 
date will be displayed on the My Enrollments page. This will reflect the date 
in which the Revalidation Letter was mailed by the MAC to the 
provider/supplier. The date will be displayed on the My Enrollments page for 
120 days.

In addition, users will be able to identify those enrollments that are 
accredited for Advanced Diagnostic Imaging (ADI) Services. An ADI Services 
indicator will be visible on the My Enrollments page as either a "Yes" or "No".

Electronic Submission and Signature of Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Agreement
Users can now complete and submit EFT Agreements electronically with the option 
to e-sign the document. If the provider/supplier submits the EFT agreement 
electronically and chooses not to e-sign, they shall include a hardcopy form of 
the completed and signed EFT agreement with its supporting documentation to the 
contractor.  Providers/suppliers are still required to physically mail 
confirmation of account information on bank letterhead, or a voided check 
whether the EFT is submitted electronically or via the paper version. Along 
with the documentation, it is also important that the provider/supplier print 
and mail the enrollment submission confirmation page containing the web 
tracking ID. This will ensure that the supporting documents mailed to your MAC 
get associated with your electronic application submission.
