Summary
CMS requires Medicare Advantage Organizations to work with contracted providers to review, update, and certify their information in the National Plan & Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Providers must update inaccurate information including names, addresses, phone numbers, and specialties, then certify the updated information.
Action Required
Immediately: Providers must log into NPPES to review and update any inaccurate information including provider name, mailing address, telephone/fax numbers, and specialty. Add all active practice locations where patients are seen and can make appointments. Remove any inactive practice locations. After updates, certify the information in NPPES to confirm accuracy.
