Timeline
PECOS web runs about 45 to 60 days typical; paper or applications with information requests run 90 to 180 days
Recredentialing
Revalidation every 5 years with no grace period
Wisconsin Physicians Service is the Medicare Administrative Contractor that processes Part A and B enrollment (the 855 series) for Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska (J5) plus Indiana and Michigan (J8). You do not apply to the MAC directly: PECOS auto routes your application to it based on your practice state.
The stall to avoid: PECOS web always beats paper, and a development request unanswered for 30 days is a rejection. Track your revalidation due date: CMS posts it about 7 months ahead.
From PayerReady's payer enrollment research, built from the payer's own provider manuals and enrollment pages. Payer processes change; when a fact is not published by the payer, we say so rather than guess.
