Take Action Now: Recertify Your FISS DDE User ID

Each year, Medicare providers are required to recertify their Fiscal Intermediary Standard System (FISS) Direct Data Entry (DDE) user access. The recertification period is now open for home health and hospice providers.  Please review the information under the "What You Need to Do" heading.  Failure to recertify will result in the termination of FISS DDE/PPTN services.

NOTE: Out of 3,466 home health and hospice providers, EDI has processed 1680 recertification forms.

What You Need to Do

  • Complete the Annual DDE PPTN Recertification FormPDF as soon as possible. Verify all User IDs, indicate if the User ID is active or inactive, and include an authorized signature, contact email, and phone number.

    Note: This form is not used to add new users, delete users, or to update current users. To add, delete, or update User ID information, you must complete an Online Inquiry ServicesPDF form.

  • FAX the Annual DDE PPTN Recertification Form as soon as possible to CGS at: 1.615.664.5947

Hospice Providers: Please be aware that failure to recertify your FISS DDE access will result in the termination of your DDE User ID. This may cause untimely filing of your hospice Notices of Election (NOEs) and an exception may not be granted.

If you have any questions concerning the recertification process, please contact the CGS J15 EDI department at 1.877.299.4500 and select Option 2.
