Pecos registration by referring
physicians will probably prevent
economic denial of medicare
claims for any service requiring a
referral. Suppose you are a
radiologist and wish
to earn a living. Or perhaps you
are a hospital administrator and
wish to not show a
loss of cash flow for the hospital.
If a physician is not registered in
Pecos or does not
have Pecos registration, then any
referrals by that physician for
medicare beneficiaries
will probably not be paid for by
medicare sometime begining
approx. Apr. 2010.

PECOS REGISTRATION
INSTRUCTIONS BELOW:
Please do not make the same
mistake I made. I registered for a
medicare PTAN number in New
Jersey and had no problem
whatsoever getting into the
PECOS system for New Jersey. My
secret is that I avoided the online
computer system and submitted
a printed form. If you call
medicare enrollment and ask
them how many problems
providers were having with
electronic enrollment in PECOS vs
sending in a printed form why not
ask this direct question: How
many online electronic PECOS
applications were clean
applications? That is how many
applications went through
electronically online without the
need for Medicare to request
additional information
because material or data was left
out? Please understand that
when I filled out the electronic
version of the application and
printed this out the certification
page on this printed out form was
the wrong certification page. I
needed to print out a different
certification page. Now if I printed
out the PECOS application and
mailed it in, that certification
page on the printed out
application that gets mailed in I
believe was the correct
certification page. This is
probably why I had no problem
when I avoided registring in New
Jersey by avoiding the electronic
application entirely. If you
ask Medicare if you can mail in a
printed application to obtain
PECOS registration and they say
yes why not just mail it.
Please consider the advantages of mailing the PECOS registration application.
disclaimer: Do not rely on any of the above information but instead call
medicare directly and ask them if it is possible to mail in a printed application
and how to go about doing so. Also check with Medicare as to the accuracy of
any of the information posted on this website.

If I was a hospital administrator
I would be very concerned about
Pecos and would probably tell
members of the Medical Staff to
look at this website and to also
more importantly call Medicare
and ask for advice on how to
best enroll in PECOS
What makes more sense? To send in
an electronic PECOS application
online and then to seperately mail in
a signed certification statement and
hope this is the corret certification
statement and not the wrong
outdated certification statement. If
you choose to do this online and
print out what you submitted online,
I personally would not sign the
statement on what was printed out
but call medicare and ask for
explicit instructions on how to obtain
the correct certification statement
that needs to be mailed in. Then I
would hope that the certification
statement would be matched with
the online appliction. If you are a
physician in New York isn't it a
whole lot easier and better for you
to insist on not sending in a PECOS
application online but to mail in the
entire application as a whole and
calling medicare at 866 837-0241
and insisting on having that entire
application mailed to you so you can
fill it out and mail it back to
Medicare?
