Extract File Format Requirements to Fully Implement Change Request 6312 (Fiscal Intermediary Standard System (FISS) to Deactivate Billing Numbers for Non-Frequent Billers).
Change Request (CR) 6312 established the criteria and procedures for
deactivating billing numbers for providers/suppliers in the FISS that had not billed the Medicare program for
1 year. This CR provides the requirement that FISS will provide a quarterly extract to the Provider
Enrollment, Chain and Ownership System (PECOS) for all billing numbers that are deactivated. This
extract report will be used to automatically update PECOS with the deactivated claim control number (CCN)
allowing PECOS and FISS to remain in sync.
