Response Due: Annual DDE & PPTN Recertification

The 2026 Annual DDE & PPTN Recertification process is scheduled July 1 – September 30.

For security purposes, CGS must certify each Direct Data Entry (DDE) and Professional Provider Telecommunications Network (PPTN) user’s access annually.

To avoid any service interruptions, each Medicare provider with staff who access DDE or PPTN should:

  • Complete the Annual DDE PPTN Recertification FormPDF.
  • • Fax form(s) to CGS per the timeline below:

    Provider Type Beginning On Deadline Completion Rate
    Home Health & Hospice July 1 July 31 24%
    Part A August 1 August 31 Upcoming
    Part B September 1 September 30 Upcoming

NOTE: September 30, 2026, is the final deadline for all providers. If you don’t recertify timely, CGS will deactivate the user ID and you’ll lose system access.
