It is imperative that your ownership information is consistent across all enrollment records under one tax identification number (TIN). If an individual or organization has 5% or more partnership or indirect/direct ownership in your organization, they must be listed on all enrollment records under your TIN.
If your enrollment records show a difference in ownership, CMS will be mailing you a letter which explains that we will use the ownership information from the most recent application with an ownership change and apply this information to all enrollment records under the same TIN.
If you need to perform a change of information to update your ownership information, you can submit an application online through PECOS or download a paper-based application. Going forward, any application received that changes the ownership information will be applied to all enrollment records under the same TIN.
