Elimination of Outdated EDI Application Forms

In an effort to be consistent with newly changed submission practices including the elimination of direct dial-up submission, as well as minimize on errors with missing information, CGS has updated the EDI application listed online at http://www.cgsmedicare.com.

The new application has changed slightly removing the direct dial-up option and inclusion of a TAX ID field which is mandatory for electronic remit (ERN/ERA) setup. Although CGS has been encouraging the usage of the new application it appears that many continue to use pre-printed forms which are outdated and often times illegible from being faxed or continuously copied and printed multiple times. We have accepted and processed these to the best of our ability.

Beginning November 1st 2014 Providers and Trading Partners should begin using the revised EDI Application in either hardcopy or electronic version to complete EDI enrollment setup. There will be a 45 day grace period to allow for your business to comply with transitioning to the new application before it is sent back in error for usage of outdated forms.

**Please follow the steps below to access the application and other enrollment forms:

  1. Go to: http://www.cgsmedicare.com/
  2. Select your line of business.
  3. To the left hand side column, select ELECTRONIC DATA INTERCHANGE (EDI)
  4. Under the EDI topic, select ENROLLMENT

*The Enrollment Topic houses the paper and electronic versions of the EDI Application and other forms.
