CEDI Enrollment

Enrolling with CEDI is easy!

Completing Forms

CEDI enrollment forms must be completed and submitted on-line. Once your information is entered into the form, click the “Submit” button at the bottom of the screen. This will generate a printable version of the form for you to print, sign, date, and fax to the number located on the printed form. Do not print the screen before you click on “Submit”.

We have provided check lists for new providers to help make the process easier.

Submitted CEDI enrollment forms will be issued Request Identification (RID) numbers which will appear on the printed copy of the form. The RID is used to track the submitted form. Forms that are printed before clicking the “Submit” button or have missing/invalid information will not be assigned an RID number. Verify your form(s) has an RID number before faxing.

IMPORTANT: Forms that are not printed after clicking on “Submit” and/or are not signed, dated, and faxed to CEDI will not be processed.

Checking the Crosswalk

CEDI recommends verifying your NPI and PTAN are linked on the crosswalk before completing enrollment forms. A crosswalk is the link established between the NPI and DME PTAN (Supplier ID). Verify your link using the tool below.

Checking Status of Submitted CEDI Forms

The On-line CEDI Enrollment Application Status Tool allows you to check the status of your CEDI enrollment form(s) instantly through an internet web portal. You will need the Request Identification (RID) number or the NPI, PTAN, and date of the on-line submission to obtain status information.

You can also use the CEDI Interactive Voice Response (IVR) System to check the status of submitted enrollment forms 24 hours after the on-line submission

The CEDI Enrollment IVR Guide PDF File is provided to assist in using the IVR.

To check status of your form(s) call 866-311-9184 Option 2 and follow the prompts. The system will request the RID number from the form in order to check status.

What to Expect

When CEDI forms are submitted, an acknowledgment e-mail will be generated and sent back to the e-mail address on the form. (NOTE: The confirmation e-mail for the Supplier Authorization Form will be sent to the 3rd party biller or clearinghouse listed on the form.)

Once the request has been approved and processed, a setup confirmation will be sent via e-mail.

The Trading Partner (Submitter) will need to contact the CEDI Help Desk at 866-311-9184 to request the initial password prior to logging in. If an e-mail is returned as undeliverable, CEDI will respond with the setup confirmation via fax or mail.

Passwords

The initial password is a default password which will expire immediately and requires the user to establish a confidential, unique password. Passwords will expire every 60 days. Password requirements are listed below:

  • Passwords must be eight (8) characters in length; no more and no less.
  • Passwords must contain a combination of numbers and alpha characters.
  • Passwords must include at least 1 uppercase and 1 lowercase letter; case sensitive.
  • Passwords must contain a special character; for example @, #, $

  • Passwords must not be stored in scripts, files, or applications unless compensating controls are in place

Note: Trading Partner (Submitter) IDs will automatically be suspended after 90 days of inactivity and become inactive after 13 months of inactivity.

Users should take appropriate measures to prevent unauthorized disclosure or modification of assigned IDs and passwords. Violation of this policy will result in revocation of all methods of system access, including but not limited to EDI front-end access or EDC RACF user access.
