Clinics and group practices can apply for enrollment in the Medicare program or make a change in their
enrollment information using either:
• The Internet-based Provider Enrollment, Chain and Ownership System (PECOS), or
• The paper enrollment application process (e.g., CMS 855B).
For additional information regarding the Medicare enrollment process, including Internet-based PECOS, go

Clinics and group practices who are enrolled in the Medicare program, but have not submitted the CMS
855B since 2003, are required to submit a Medicare enrollment application (i.e., Internet-based PECOS or
the CMS 855B) as an initial application when reporting a change for the first time.
The following suppliers must complete this application to initiate the enrollment process:
• Ambulance Service Supplier
• Mammography Center
• Ambulatory Surgical Center
• Mass Immunization (Roster Biller Only)
• Clinic/Group Practice
• Part B Drug Vendor
• Independent Clinical Laboratory
• Portable X-ray Supplier
• Independent Diagnostic Testing Facility (IDTF)
• Radiation Therapy Center
• Intensive Cardiac Rehabilitation Supplier
If your supplier type is not listed above, contact your designated fee-for-service contractor before you
submit this application.
Complete and submit this application if you are an organization/group that plans to bill Medicare and
you are:
A medical practice or clinic that will bill for Medicare Part B services (e.g., group practices, clinics,
independent laboratories, portable x-ray suppliers).
A hospital or other medical practice or clinic that may bill for Medicare Part A services but will also
bill for Medicare Part B practitioner services or provide purchased laboratory tests to other entities that
bill Medicare Part B.
Currently enrolled with a Medicare fee-for-service contractor but need to enroll in another
fee-for-service contractor’s jurisdiction (e.g., you have opened a practice location in a geographic
territory serviced by another Medicare fee-for-service contractor).
Currently enrolled in Medicare and need to make changes to your enrollment data (e.g., you have
added or changed a practice location). Changes must be reported in accordance with the timeframes
established in 42 C.F.R. § 424.516(d). (IDTF changes of information must be reported in accordance with
42 C.F.R. § 410.33.)
Billing nuMBer inforMation
The National Provider Identifier (NPI) is the standard unique health identifier for health care providers
and is assigned by the National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). As a Medicare health
supplier, you must obtain an NPI prior to enrolling in Medicare or before submitting a change for
your existing Medicare enrollment information. Applying for an NPI is a process separate from Medicare
enrollment. As a supplier, it is your responsibility to determine if you have “subparts.” A subpart is a
component of an organization (supplier) that furnishes healthcare and is not itself a legal entity. If you do
have subparts, you must determine if they should obtain their own unique NPIs. Before you complete this
enrollment application, you need to make those determinations and obtain NPI(s) accordingly.
