Attention Physician's Assistants, other Practitioners, and Their Employers
Are you a Physician's Assistant (PA)? Do you employ a PA? Are you a practitioner who currently bills under an organizational Medicare Provider Identification Number (PIN)? Under NPI, PAs and other practitioners may need to enroll in the Medicare program separately. Now is the time to verify if you need to enroll separately in Medicare. Medicare enrollment has identified over 450 practitioners who may not be payable after the implementation of NPI on May 23, 2007.
How does a practitioner enroll in Medicare? Complete the CMS 855I Provider Enrollment Form. Also, complete the CMS 855R Provider Enrollment Form to reassign benefits to the organizations.
If you need help completing the form or wonder if you need to complete the form, call the WPS Medicare provider enrollment department at:
