Each provider or supplier is required to revalidate their entire Medicare enrollment record. This includes all practice locations and every group that benefits are reassigned (that is, the group submits claims and receives payments directly for services provided).This means the provider or supplier is recertifying and revalidating all of the information in the enrollment record, including all assigned NPIs and Provider Transaction Access Numbers (PTANs). Failure to submit all required information and supporting documentation will result in a delay in processing your application.

The revalidation process involves confirming the accuracy of the provider's enrollment data (or making updates, if necessary), and it must be completed upon request from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
