Suppliers located in the following states and territories are considered part of the new NPEAST jurisdiction:

How do I find information regarding DMEPOS enrollment?

Our DMEPOS website should be your first stop to find answers to all of your supplier enrollment needs. Our website provides valuable enrollment guidelines and information, including enrollment articles, frequently asked questions, self-service tools, and much more.

By signing up for our eNews listserv, you will be the first to know about upcoming changes for the DMEPOS supplier enrollment process as well as receive alerts when new information is released to our website.

Our toll-free customer service number connects to our interactive voice response unit (IVR) or a live agent, when needed. Live agents are available from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. EST.

CMS-855S application

The Provider Enrollment, Chain, and Ownership System (PECOS) is the best option to complete and submit your enrollment applications. PECOS supports the Medicare supplier enrollment process by allowing registered users to securely submit and manage Medicare enrollment information online.

If you utilize paper applications, continue to use the current CMS-855S form found on our website; however, disregard the address listed on page 4 of the application advising to send the application to the National Supplier Clearinghouse (NSC). We will notify you via our eNews email when the new form is available and how to access it. Please use the following methods to submit NPEAST DMEPOS enrollment applications to us:

What happens to my application upon transition?

If you are within the eastern state region for DMEPOS, your existing enrollment record will be transferred to Novitas in PECOS.

Any paper or PECOS application still in progress or under review with the NSC will be transitioned to Novitas Solutions and receive a new document control number (DCN). A Novitas representative will communicate your new DCN by calling or emailing the contact person listed on the application.

Novitas has two options available for obtaining application status once a DCN is available:

The application transition process is fluid and will continue throughout next week. Please continue to monitor these resources for application status updates.
