AGENCY: PO 00000 Frm 00058 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 In order to allow a provider or supplier to delegate the Medicare credentialing process to another individual or organization, it is necessary to establish a Security Consent Form for those providers and suppliers who choose to have another individual or organization access their enrollment information and complete enrollments on their behalf. These users could consist of administrative staff, independent contractors, or credentialing departments and are represented as a User group. User groups and its members must request access to enrollment data through a Security Consent Form. The security consent form replicates business service agreements between Medicare applicants and organizations providing enrollment services. We are proposing four different versions of the Security Consent Form. The form, once signed, mailed and approved, grants a user group or its member access to specific Medicare enrollment records. The system administrator, within the user group, assigns to each member of the group, a security role that will define their levels of functionality within PECOS web for an individual or organization.
