Medicare Provider Enrollment Through PECOS
Why on earth is this necessary? Simply another redundant layer of needless
bureaucracy!
+AmericanMuse this is government control in full throttle. Makes us mad
that we have to do this
+Duane Robert You’re mad because you have to submit an application before
you get paid by Medicare?
In order to get paid to see Medicare patients, doctors have to go through
an application process. No different from getting a mortgage, job, etc. How
is that unnecessary government bureaucracy?
Should the government allow anyone to sign up without any scrutiny
whatsoever?
+WDE1121 This video is primarily about dental prescribers of MEDICATIONS
for patients with Medicare. It is NOT about getting paid from the feds for
those prescriptions. This is merely “required” to be able to provide Rx’s
to Medicare patients. We already have a DEA number, so you’d think the feds
would just use that as a valid ID. Instead this just adds another layer of
bureaucratic BS.
+WDE1121 this is not a new application that the letter from CMS told some
of us to come here for. I am ALREADY REGISTERED,, as are others. It’s just
making us re-do what they already have.
I second AmericanMuse
My enrollments is now called my associates, if anyone else was confused by
this.
+Jenny Pohl Thanks, because I couldn’t find enrollments, either.
Maria KolakBureaucracy at its finest. 25% of health money is spend on
bureaucracy.
