Medicare Provider Enrollment Services
PECOS enrollment, reassignment and revalidation, filed correctly the first time because corrections cost months.
Medicare enrollment is unforgiving of small errors. A mismatched practice location, an omitted reassignment, an ownership field left blank — each returns the application, and the clock starts again from the resubmission rather than the original filing.
ZechionMed prepares and files Medicare enrollment through PECOS: initial enrollment for individuals and groups, reassignment of benefits, changes of information, revalidation, and reactivation where billing privileges have already lapsed.
Effective dates matter here more than anywhere else. Medicare's retrospective billing window is limited, so an application filed late does not simply delay revenue — a portion of it is permanently unbillable.

Where Medicare Applications Are Returned
A location that does not match
The practice address on the application must agree with what Medicare can verify. A suite number missing, or an address that reads differently from the lease, is enough for a return.
Missing reassignment
A provider enrolled individually but not reassigned to the group cannot have their services billed by it. The individual record looks complete and every group claim denies.
Incomplete ownership disclosure
CMS-855B and 855A ownership sections are screened rather than skimmed. Partial disclosure holds the application without a clear reason.
Revalidation missed
Non-response deactivates billing privileges. Reactivation is possible, but the gap between deactivation and reactivation is generally not billable.
Filing after the start date
Medicare's retrospective billing window is limited. Filing weeks after a provider begins seeing patients makes part of that period permanently unbillable.
