information on providers who are actively approved to bill Medicare or
have completed the 855O at the time the data was pulled from the
Provider Enrollment, Chain, and Ownership System (PECOS). The release of
this provider enrollment data is not related to other provider
information releases such as Physician Compare or Data Transparency.

programs can handle, which will result in an incomplete load of data.

provider information, reassignment of benefits information and practice
