Abstract:
The primary function of the CMS 855R enrollment application is to allow physicians and non-physician practitioners to reassign their Medicare benefits to a group practice and to gather information from the individual that tells us who he/she is, where he or she renders services, and information necessary to establish correct claims payment. The goal of evaluating and revising the CMS 855R enrollment application is to require the physician or non-physician practitioner to identify a primary group location where the physician or non-physician practitioner will render most of his or her services. This identification does not add any additional burden to the physicians or non-physician practitioners.

The total burden is 89,408 hours.

Based numbers derived from PECOS, the total number of respondents decreased by 21,991 (from 379,619 to 367,628).
