Special Note to Physicians and Other Healthcare Professionals

The information in this database comes from the Provider Enrollment, Chain, and Ownership System (PECOS) and an external data source. If your information is incorrect or has changed, please identify your issue from the left and follow the recommended action. If you have any other issues, please send your updated information using our feedback tool. When you send your updated information, please include name, specialty, practice location address(es), and any available contact information.

If you are enrolled in Medicare but missing from the website, it is likely caused by one of these 3 issues:

  1. You are enrolled in Medicare but do not yet have an enrollment record established in PECOS. To resolve this issue, you will need to submit an enrollment application. Use the link "Other Issues" then review the section titled: "Missing from the website but are currently a Medicare enrolled provider – no PECOS record".
  2. You are enrolled in Medicare and have an enrollment record in PECOS but are missing your practice location. We need an address in PECOS in order to display you on the website because all searches are done by geographic area. To resolve this issue, you will need to update PECOS with your address location. Please visit "Practice Locations" for more detailed information.
  3. You are enrolled in Medicare and have an enrollment record in PECOS but are missing specialty information. We need specialty information in PECOS in order to display you on the website because searches are based on specialty. To resolve this issue, you will need to update PECOS with your specialty information. Please visit "Specialty" for more detailed information.
