Help Prevent Bank Account Fraud

The provider should be aware of the following to help prevent bank account fraud if no authorized individual from your entity submits a change to enrollment.

• Contact your MAC immediately if:
  • remittances notice drop to paper,
  • Medicare checks drop to paper,
  • you stop receiving Medicare payment including electric deposit, and/or
  • you receive notice that a provider enrollment application was submitted to change enrollment or EFT information.
• Access PECOS periodically, to verify enrollment information Medicare currently has on file is accurate, including electronic funds transfer.
  • See Learn about PECOS web for instruction to access enrollment record.
• Ensure “check stock” is not left out where it becomes visible to others (e.g. cleaning personnel)
