Medicare will require clinicians to re-enroll

Due to new risk-screening criteria established as part of the Affordable Care Act, clinicians who enrolled in Medicare before March 25, 2011 will be required to re-enroll.

Clinicians will receive a notice to re-enroll from their Medicare administrative contractor (MAC) sometime between now and March 2013 and should provide their enrollment information at that time. The process is being staggered so that MACs can better manage the information. Additional information is available on the CMS website.
