The gateway was designed to increase efficiency with entering a paper application in our processing system by avoiding processing times with the U.S. Postal Service. The gateway is a free service available for providers and suppliers who are serviced by First Coast. We strive to screen, validate, and process our applications within the CMS-designated timeframes.

How to: 

Check the status of a gateway application that has already been submitted

• You may log into the gateway using your NPI and submission ID and select Check Status.

  Note: Multiple email addresses are allowed. The email address provided to the gateway is simply to provide you with the one-time access code to enter the gateway. The email address is not tied to your NPI, submission ID, or DCN.

Submit multiple applications for different providers or suppliers

• You may log into the gateway one time using one NPI to submit an enrollment package for multiple providers, i.e., an 855B for Dr. Mullins MD PA and multiple 855Is for providers reassigning to Dr. Mullins MD PA. Please note that the NPI used for the initial application submission is linked to the submission ID that you will receive for that submission; you will not be able to check on the application submission with your submission ID using any other NPI that was not used to obtain access into the gateway. If you choose to, you may submit multiple applications for different providers or suppliers by obtaining access to the gateway multiple times, using a different NPI each time; in this instance, you will receive multiple submission IDs -- one for each different NPI.

Contact us for questions

• You may reach out to Provider Enrollment for your designated area via phone; please refer to Resources and Contacts. If you have a received a decision letter, you may also reach out to the analyst via the phone number specified on your letter.

Determine when revalidation is due

• Navigate to https://data.cms.gov/revalidation, and enter your organization name, first name, last name or NPI. Your information will be displayed by name, due date, state, specialty, and NPI. You may have also received a letter requesting you to revalidate up to three months prior to your revalidation due date. The DCN assigned to you to revalidate will be referenced on that letter and required to upload your revalidation application. If you do not have a copy of the revalidation request letter but your revalidation is due, you may reach out to Provider Enrollment to request the DCN.
