NGSConnex Medicare Part B Remittances
We’ve added an enhancement that offers providers the option to view/print remittance advices in NGSConnex for up to 24 months from the date of search.
You are required to complete the EDI enrollment to view remittance statements within NGSConnex for the provider account selected.
When a NGSConnex Part B user selects the Remittance tab from the home screen, the Claim Status/Claim Details screen, or the Financials/Checks EFT screen, the system will verify that an EDI Enrollment is on file. If there is no EDI Enrollment on file, the authorized or delegated official listed in PECOS must complete the EDI Enrollment agreement.
