Inactivity
Medicare will routinely deactivate the billing privileges of those providers who fail to bill the Medicare Program for six consecutive months or more. Each billing account is considered separately for the deactivation criteria. This means that a provider who is affiliated with multiple Medicare Identification Numbers, only the Medicare Identification Number that has not billed will be deactivated.
For more information view the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Internet-Only Manual Publication 100-08, Medicare Program Integrity Manual, Chapter 10.4.8 – Deactivation.
