Continuing Access to PS&R Depends on Annual Recertification of Your EIDM Account
Continuing Access to PS&R Depends on Annual Recertification
of Your EIDM Account
Recertification for existing EIDM-enrolled entities is due 3/15/2016. Access to PS&R data (through EIDM) is needed for the home health cost report, as well as for hospices in fulfilling their annual requirement to calculate and report their estimated aggregate cap by March 31 if the hospice’s MAC does not provide the data directly to the hospice.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recently released information through the Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) indicating that to maintain access to Provider Statistical and Reimbursement (PS&R) data, providers must annually recertify their accounts in the Enterprise Identity Management (EIDM) system.
CMS began sending messages about the need to recertify in EIDM to providers’ designated Security Officials in mid-February. End users did not receive a notification from EIDM regarding the need for their account to be re-certified- only the Security Officials received these emails. The email would have been from donotreply@cms.gov
LeadingAge Ohio suggests you alert the appropriate staff within your agency (your Provider Security Officer) to respond to the EIDM recertification requirement they should have received via email.
What to do if you did not receive an email from CMS
- Check your spam/junk email folder
- Log into your profile on EIDM and confirm that your email address is correct
If you have questions regarding the need for the recertification, please contact Anne Shelley, LeadingAge Ohio Director of Regulatory Affairs, at ashelley@leadingageohio.org or call 614-545-9030.
