First time enrolling with Medicare? Setting Up Surrogacy Access in CMS

Summary:

To bill Medicare Advantage claims through Zaya, your providers must first be enrolled with Zaya’s Traditional Medicare group. This is required by Medicare so that Zaya can obtain a unique PTAN for each provider under our group.

Below are Instuction for providers who have never been enrolled with Medicare - regardless under which Tax ID - and thus, require full Medicare enrollment. These providers must grant surrogate access to Zaya Credentialing Team in order to get started.

Why You Need Surrogacy Access:

If you are not yet enrolled in Medicare for your state, Zaya needs access to your information to prepare and submit your enrollment application.

Steps to Set Up Surrogacy Access:

1. Visit the CMS Identity and Access Management site:  https://nppes.cms.hhs.gov/IAWeb/warning.do 

2. Click Accept and log in using your PECOS credentials.

3. Complete the multi-factor authentication.

4. Click on the My Staff tab.

5. Select Add Staff.

Enter the following team member information to grant access:

Stacy Sapir

Email: stacy@zayacare.com

Role: User Access (Select PECOS)

Leoni Runge

Email: credentialing@zayacare.com 

Role: User Access (Select PECOS)

6. Submit your request.

7. Zaya Credentialing team will finalize the connection once received.

What Happens Next:

Once surrogate access is established, Zaya will prepare your full Medicare enrollment application. You will then be notified when your electronic signature is needed.
