• If a provider enrolls as an ordering, certifying, and prescribing provider, the provider has chosen not to submit services to Medicare for reimbursement
• If enrolled as an ordering/certifying provider, provider is eligible to prescribe Part D drugs
• To become an ordering/certifying/prescribing provider, provider must obtain an NPI
• To enroll as an ordering, certifying and prescribing provider, provider must complete and submit a CMS-855O form
