PECOS Enrollment Required for Medicare Electronic Health Record (EHR) Incentive Program
On June 11, 2010, CMS announced that Provider Enrollment, Chain and Ownership System (PECOS) records will be used to verify Medicare enrollment prior to making Medicare EHR incentive payments. While additional details on the EHR incentive program will be provided in an upcoming final rule, CMS is encouraging providers to act now to ensure that they have an updated enrollment record in PECOS.
