Each year, Medicare providers are required to recertify their Fiscal Intermediary Standard System (FISS) Direct Data Entry (DDE) user access. Please review the information under the "What You Need to Do" heading.
September 30, 2019 is the last day to complete the Annual DDE PPTN Recertification form. If you have not completed and faxed the form to our EDI department please do so TODAY! Failure to recertify will result in the termination of FISS DDE/PPTN services.
What You Need to Do

Note: This form is not used to add new users, delete users, or to update current users. To add, delete, or update User ID information, you must complete an Online Inquiry Services form. This form is not used for myCGS Recertification.
