Provider Directory Submissions to CMS

110.2.6 – Provider Directory Submissions to CMS (Rev. 121, Issued: 04-22-16, Effective: 04-22-16, Implementation: 04-22-16) MAOs must submit their hardcopy directories to CMS on a yearly basis. All hardcopy directories must be uploaded into HPMS as a non-marketing material under the XXX submission code. All hardcopy directories must be uploaded prior to making the directory available by September 30. Note that updates and/or addenda pages are not to be uploaded. Because provider directories are considered non-marketing, MAOs should not include a status after the material ID. To distinguish the provider directories as non-marketing, the following material ID should be used: MAO’s contract number, followed by an underscore, followed by a series of alpha numeric characters chosen at the discretion of the MAO, followed by an underscore, followed by the letters “NM” (for example, H1234_ABC123_NM).
