Dear listserv subscribers,
As many of you know, CMS is requiring that all physicians who refer patients
to us be registered in the PECOS database. If we provide services to
patients who have been referred to us by a physician who is not enrolled in
PECOS we will not be paid. Therefore it is in our best interest to know if
the referring physician is enrolled prior to initiating the provision of
service. CMS provided a 13,000 page PDF document with all physicians
registered in PECOS, but there was no simple way to search the list unless
you purchased an Adobe product.
My development team has put together a search tool that is available for
everyone in the profession to use freely to verify if your referring
physicians are registered. It is available as a link at www.oandp.com

Enjoy!
