CMS Mandatory Provider & Supplier Revalidation
In accordance with the Patient Protection and Affordable care Act, Section 6401 (a), all new and existing providers must be reevaluated under the new screening guidelines in Section 6028. Medicare requires all enrolled providers & suppliers to revalidate enrollment information every five years. Upon the CMS request to revalidate its enrollment, the provider/supplier has 60 days from the date of their letter to submit complete enrollment information by either paper application 855 form, or via the internet based PECOS System.
Section 6401 (a) of the Affordable Care Act established a requirement for all enrolled providers and suppliers to revalidate their enrollment information under new enrollment screening criteria. This applies to those providers and suppliers that were enrolled prior to March 25, 2011. Newly enrolled providers and suppliers that have submitted enrollment applications to CMS after that date are not impacted. Between now and March 23, 2015. MACs will send out notices on a regular basis to begin the revalidation process for each provider and supplier. Providers and suppliers must wait to submit the revalidation only after being asked by their MAC to do so.

Medicare Application Fee for Institutional Providers
Section 6401(a) of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires the Secretary to impose a fee on each "institutional provider of medical or other items or services and suppliers." The fee is to be used by the Secretary to cover the cost of program integrity efforts including the cost of screening associated with provider enrollment processes, including those under section 1866(j) and section 1128J of the Social Security Act. The application fee is currently $505 for CY2011; however, based upon provisions of the ACA this fee will vary from year-to-year based on adjustments made pursuant to the Consumer Price Index for Urban Areas (CPI-U). The application fee is to be imposed on institutional providers that are newly-enrolling, re-enrolling/re-validating, or adding a new practice location - for applications received on and after March 25, 2011.
CMS has defined "institutional provider" to mean any provider or supplier that submits a paper Medicare enrollment application using the CMS-855A, CMS-855B (except physician and non-physician practitioner organizations), or CMS-855S or associated Internet-based PECOS enrollment application.
