CMS Ordering/Referring Provider Report Updated

Attention All CEDI Trading Partners, Suppliers, Billing Services, Clearinghouses, and Vendors

CMS has updated the “OrderingReferringReport” file containing the National Provider Identifier (NPI) and the name (last name, first name) of all physicians and non-physician practitioners who are of a type/specialty that is eligible to order and refer in the Medicare program and who have current enrollment records in Medicare (i.e., they have enrollment records in PECOS that contain an NPI).

This file is downloadable from the Medicare provider/supplier enrollment Web site www.cms.hhs.gov/MedicareProviderSupEnroll, click on “OrderingReferringReport” on the left-hand side. The report is provided in both a .pdf and a .csv formatted file.

** NOTE ** Due to the large size of these files, CEDI suggests you right click and select “Save as” before attempting to open the file.

The .csv file of the ordering/referring providers can be opened in WordPad or NotePad or used for uploading into a prepared database or other application. (If you open the .csv file using Excel, only a partial list is provided due to the length of the list.)
