Send Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Information from Provider Enrollment Chain and Ownership System (PECOS) to Multi-Carrier System (MCS) Phase 2

The purpose of this CR is to implement Phase 2 of a two phased approach intended to reduce the 2-day cycle for Multi-Carrier System (MCS) claims processing when data is received from Provider Enrollment, Chain & Ownership System (PECOS) and the National Provider Identifier (NPI) appears on the Master Provider File. To that end, during Phase 2, Provider Enrollment Chain & Ownership System (PECOS) will begin sending Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) data to Multi-Carrier System (MCS) in the existing extract.

• The Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Tab and corresponding user roles will be added to PECOS Administrative Interface.
• The EFT data for each Medicare ID will be displayed as read-only on the MCS Tab in PECOS.
• The Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Child Record will be added to the existing MCS Extract.
• PECOS will begin transferring the new MCS EFT Child Record to MCS.
• PECOS will begin sending the A/R 60 in the MCS extract for transmission to MCS once EFT data are added to an enrollment in PECOS.
