Summary
CMS reminds Medicare Advantage Organizations to work with providers to review, update, and certify provider information in the National Plan & Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Providers must update inaccurate information including names, addresses, phone numbers, and specialties, and ensure all active practice locations are listed.
Action Required
Immediately: Providers must log into NPPES to review and update all provider information including practice name, mailing address, telephone and fax numbers, and specialty designations. Add all addresses where you actively see patients and where patients can schedule appointments. Remove any practice locations no longer in use. After updates are complete, certify the information in NPPES to confirm accuracy.
