Register to Receive the PS&R Report

Providers should not contact NGS to receive PS&R summary reports. It is the responsibility of each provider to obtain their own reports using the CMS IDM system. This is a web-based, centralized system housed at CMS.

First-time users need to register for a user ID and password. IDM allows users to obtain one ID and password to access multiple web-based systems. Registration involves a provider verification process that includes submission of supporting documentation.  Providers can register to access their PS&R reports on the CMS Enterprise Portal web page.

The IDM web page contains information and links to user guides that will assist with registration. The IDM system is not a NGS system and therefore we have limited ability to assist in registration or system access issues. For all issues in accessing IDM or PS&R reports, please contact the IDM helpdesk at 866-484-8049, by email at EUSSupport@CGI.com, or by accessing their website.

Instructions on How to Use Redesign

1. Providers access PS&R using the CMS Enterprise Portal.
2. An IDM login screen will appear, login using your IDM ID and password,
3. On the main PS&R homepage, select “Request Report” (at the top of the page),
4. Then select “Request Summary” from the second line of the next screen,
5. On the Summary Reports Request page, select reports “By Service Type,” and then “All” from the drop-down menu, and click “Continue” at bottom of page,
6. Enter Service Dates - the system will default to your cost report period. If one full cost report period is needed, these dates will not need to be changed. However, the date ranges may be changed if needed. Note: if period “splits” are needed for cost reporting, the date ranges will also need to be changed.
7. Select Paid Dates – you should select paid dates from the beginning of the cost report year to the latest possible date (date you are running the report),
8. Click “Continue” at the bottom of the page,
9. Select Report Format – you may select a PDF file (which can be easily read and printed), a CSV file (data file that can be imported to other software such as Excel), or both. Click “Continue” after selection is made,
10. Confirm your report request information, then click “Submit” to submit your report request for processing,
11. View “Report Inbox” to view status of request (we expect reports to be generated within 24 hours of the request),
12. Once completed, you can click the file to download or view.

Detail Reports

You are allowed one PS&R detail request aligning with your current cost report year at no charge. The PS&R detail report includes patient specific data on an individual claim basis. We provide this to assist with cost report preparation. Any non-aligning or additional requests require the PS&R Detail Request Form and payment of $200 per request/year.

You can download the request form from our website: PSR Form

Mail the form and check in per the instructions on the request form. To expedite the processing of your request, email a copy of the form and check to PSR@anthem.com. Ensure you enter your request into the PS&R redesign system for the same period as indicated on your request form.

Please share your thoughts about your experience with our Audit and Reimbursement process.
