Attention: DDE & PPTN Users
For security purposes, CGS must certify each Direct Data Entry (DDE) and Professional Provider Telecommunications Network (PPTN) user's system access annually.
The Annual DDE & PPTN Recertification process began on July 1.
Less than 2 weeks remain until our extended deadline (October 31), and current users are still at risk of losing access (user ID deactivation) for failure to recertify.
| Provider Type | Completion Rate |
|---|---|
| Home Health & Hospice | 58% |
| Part A | 60% |
| Part B | 40% |
Please fax the Annual DDE PPTN Recertification Form
as soon as possible.
Note: Once the termination process begins, a new application (DDE & PPTN Application/Reactivation) is required to restore access, and the normal 20 business days for processing applies.
