In the most recent CMS MLNConnects newsletter, the CMS published an article reminding providers and suppliers of the importance of reporting managing employees on your enrollment file.
Managing employees are general managers, business managers, administrators, directors, or other individuals who exercise operational or managerial control or directly or indirectly conduct day-to-day operations, either under contract or through some other arrangement, whether or not the individual is a W–2 employee of the provider or supplier.
While not an exhaustive list, these roles qualify as managing employees
- Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Compliance Officer
- Regional Manager, Clinical Manager, Operations Manager, Care Coordination Manager, Location Manager, Administration Manager
- Compliance Director, Clinical Director
It is important to note that reporting a managing employee is a requirement for a compliant enrollment record. Adding individuals can be done via the appropriate paper application (i.e. 855-S, 855-B) or electronically via PECOS. Provider enrollment contractors can deactivate your enrollment record if it is incomplete or does not comply with the guidelines put forth in the CMS IOM 100-3, Ch. 10.
