Novitas to send revalidation notices to providers on Sept. 20

Friday, September 06, 2013 02:36 PM

In accordance with the health reform law, all new and existing providers for beneficiaries of Medicare, Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Programs must be reevaluated under new screening guidelines. The so-called revalidation effort applies to providers and suppliers enrolled prior to March 25, 2011.

Novitas Solutions, the Medicare Administrative Contractor for Colorado, will send revalidation notices on a regular basis to all affected providers and suppliers. They recently released an updated revalidation request mailing schedule. Click here to view the full schedule. Note that the first mailing to roughly 7,000 providers and suppliers will now be issued on Sept. 20, 2013.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services will publish the listing of providers and suppliers included in this mailing on their website on or around Oct. 31, 2013, approximately three to four weeks after all contractors have provided their mailing information for the month of September.
