Note: CMS now requires all providers enrolling or making an update to their file to include the NPI on the CMS 855 forms. Submit a copy of the NPI notification letter from the NPI Enumerator (NPI) https://nppes.cms.hhs.gov

1. Complete form 855I (sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 13, 15 and 17)
   • CMS 855I form (CMS Web site)
   • Section 15 (Certification Statement) of the 855I must be signed and dated by the enrollee. Faxed, photocopied, or stamped signatures will not be accepted.
   • The provider will receive 2 provider numbers using the 855I Form (one for the corporation and one for the individual.)
   • Incorporated providers need to get an NPI for their corporation as well as for themselves. https://www.nppes.cms.hhs.gov
2. Include the following documents:
   • State social worker license with clinical or independent social worker designation
   • IRS documentation (e.g., CP575, quarterly tax coupon) confirming the tax identification number and legal business name of the enrollee.

   • New Providers, as well as existing providers who are assigned a new PTAN (Provider Transaction Access Number), must enroll for EDI using an EDI Enrollment Form. To access the Enrollment Forms go to: http://www.PalmettoGBA.com/jmb/edi, select Enrollment from left margin.
