Title: Information Requirements for Medicare Professional Suppliers Billing Privileges (BPO-143-P)
Abstract: This proposed rule would establish conditions for enrolling providers and suppliers that furnish items or services to Medicare beneficiaries. These conditions would improve current enrollment procedures so as to more accurately identify such providers and suppliers and to secure information and documentation necessary to the effective and efficient administration of the Medicare program. The more accurate identification of providers and suppliers, coupled with the collection of certain information, will facilitate the administration of many aspects of the Medicare program including, but not necessarily limited to, monitoring for compliance with program rules and combating fraud and abuse. Improvements in enrolling providers and suppliers will afford both the Medicare trust funds and program beneficiaries with greater protection.
