Summary
CMS is reminding Medicare Advantage Organizations that healthcare providers must review, update, and certify their information in the National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Providers need to ensure all practice addresses, contact information, and specialties are current and accurate.
Action Required
Immediately: Providers must log into NPPES to review and update their provider information including name, mailing address, telephone/fax numbers, and specialty. Add all current practice locations where patients are actively seen and can schedule appointments. Remove any inactive practice locations. After updating, certify the information in NPPES to confirm accuracy.
