CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) has implemented the new redesigned Provider Statistical and Reimbursement
(PS&R) system. The new PS&R system is web-based and allows all users to access CMS data.
To obtain the (PS&R) online from CMS, you need to register a Security Official for your facility. Before starting the registration we
recommend to have available the IRS Notice CP 575, because you must send it to CMS to validate your information, therefore it is
important that your registration data matches the information on the CP 575.
Use the following link to see a sample of the CP 575. http://www.nmpprofessionalservices.com/CP_575_SAMPLE.pdf
If you can’t find the IRS notice CP 575, call the IRS Business Tax Line at (800) 829-4933 to request a Confirmation Letter for an
assigned EIN number (147C letter) which is also accepted by CMS, because the CP 575 is only issued one time.
Follow steps 1 to 18 for registration of the Security Official for your agency.

of the “general rule” of Due Dates to CMS:
