CGS Provider Enrollment Application Status Check Tool
Providers who want to check the status of their Medicare provider enrollment application can now use the CGS Application Status Check Tool. Within 15 days of receiving the CMS 855 application, CGS sends a courtesy acknowledgement letter to the provider. Providers can access their status by entering the reference number listed on the CGS letter into the tool.
If the reference number is not known, the email address listed on the CMS 855 application can be entered into the tool. If the email address entered matches the one included on the application, the provider will receive an email containing the reference number. If the email addresses do not match, an email will not be sent to the provider.
When one email address is associated with more than 5 applications, the provider can call Customer Service at 866-276-9558 and select Option 3 for assistance.
