Establish an Automated Process between ViPS Medicare System (VMS) and the Provider Enrollment Chain and Ownership System (PECOS) to Post Payment Suspension Alert Codes and Related Data to All Four Durable Medical Equipment Medicare Administrator Contractors (DME MAC) Jurisdictions

CMS is instructing the PECOS contractor and ViPS to re-establish the prior automated process which was facilitated in PIMS into PECOS. Once the processes are coded in PECOS and VMS, VMS will be able to accept the new data alert code values at all four DME MAC Jurisdictions.
