The primary function of the CMS 855S Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics and Supplies (DMEPOS) supplier enrollment application is to gather information from a supplier that tells us who it is, whether it meets certain qualifications to be a health care supplier, where it renders its services or supplies, the identity of the owners of the enrolling entity, and information necessary to establish correct claims payment. The goal of this revision of the CMS 855S is to simplify and clarify the current data collection and to remove obsolete and/or redundant questions. Grammar and spelling errors were corrected. Limited informational text has been added within the application form and instructions in conjunction with links to websites when greater detail is needed by the supplier. To clarify current data collection differentiations and to be in sync with accreditation coding, Section 3D (“Products and Services Furnished by This Supplier”) has been updated. This revision does not offer any new material data collection.

Burden hours have been reduced by -20,605 hours (from 88,491 to 67,886 hours) due to various revisions made to the CMS-855S form. In addition, burden assumptions have been updated to reflect most recent PECOS statistics regarding the annual number of submissions. The large reduction in burden is due almost exclusively to our more accurate estimate of 855 application submissions. Specifically, based on PECOS the number of 855S application submissions decreased from 45,117 to 24,593 (a decrease of 20,524 applications).
