Anesthesiologists, Nurse Anesthetists Must Revalidate Medicare Enrollment Before March 2013

Anesthesia Business Consultants is encouraging anesthesiologists, nurse anesthetists and anesthesiologist assistants who last validated their Medicare enrollment before March 25, 2011, to revalidate by March 23, 2013.

According to the release, the revalidation is required under Section 6028 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. According to the provision, all providers and suppliers who were enrolled before March 25, 2011, and have not revalidated since their initial enrollment must revalidate enrollment information within 60 days of receiving notice from their carriers.

Providers must revalidate no later than March 23, 2013. The new program is intended to combat Medicare fraud by including all providers in a tiered screening process.
