Hello allllllllll:
After painstakingly going thru the run around, over and over, and being told alllllllllll kinds of different things, from First Coast Service Options, Region C, DME MAC, the PECOS folks, The Supplier Clearinghouse, everyone has given different information. I don't know who to trust.
My latest info came from First Coast Service Options 866-454-9007 this is what they said today:
As long as the NPI number show's up on the list as being in PECOS, then the prescribing doctor can write Rx's for Prosthetics and Orthotics. Me Personally? I, still do not feel comfortable with this. I am contacting our referring Doctors' to make sure they are in fact Credentialed and that the attestation page on their Supplier application ..the 855-O form is properly filled out to state they will be writing Rx's for Prosthetics and Orthotics as well as everything else they plan on writing for. I have called at least 15 different people over two days and really only got the same answer twice. Quite frankly, I don't trust anything these people tell me anymore, cause next week the rule will change.
I hope this information helped some, I didn't not mean to start another nightmare., I'm just trying to be proactive here, and try and stop anymore of our money flying out the door.
Best Regards!
Nancy
