Enrolling for the First Time or Moving From Another State?

Individuals enrolling for the first time or moving from another state must complete the following:

  • To bill Medicare as an individual NPP, you must complete the CMS-855I as indicated in the instructions;

  • An individual must complete a CMS-855I for each state where they perform their services;

  • A CMS-855R must be completed to authorize reassignment and submitted with the CMS-855I; and

  • A sole proprietor must also include a completed CMS-855B.
