Noridian begins deactivation of providers who failed to revalidate



The due date for physicians to revalidate their Medicare enrollment information has passed for the most recent cycle of physician revalidation required by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Physicians who received a revalidation notice from Noridian, CMS’ Medicare contractor for California, and who did not turn in a completed application to CMS prior to the May 31 deadline, will have their Medicare billing privileges deactivated.

If you are deactivated for failure to respond to a revalidation notice, you must submit a reactivation application. The date of receipt of the reactivation application will be the new effective date for Medicare billing privileges. No payments will be made for the period of deactivation.

If a revalidation application is received but incomplete, Noridian will contact you for the missing information. If the missing information is not received within 30 days of the request, Noridian will deactivate your billing privileges.

If your revalidation application is approved, the provider will be revalidated and no further action is needed.

If you do not know if you received a notice, you can look up your revalidation date through the CMS look-up tool. Those due for revalidation in the near future will display a revalidation due date. All other providers/suppliers will see "TBD" in the due date field.

For more information on the revalidation process, see MLN Matters #SE1605.
