How do I update my provider information on an existing Railroad Medicare provider number?

Answer
Please first notify your local Part B Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC). Once you have received confirmation that the provider’s record has been updated by your MAC, please allow 7-14 business days before sending notification to Railroad Medicare.

You can fax or send written notification of the change to our Provider Enrollment unit. Please send your request on your provider/practice letterhead and include the following information:

• Provider's name
• Railroad Medicare Provider Transaction Access Number (PTAN)
• National Provider Identifier (NPI)
• Tax Identification Number
• Contact number
• Explanation of what needs to be changed
  • Billing address – Include new billing address 
  • Practice address – Include new practice address
  • Practice name – Include new practice name
  • Provider's name – Include provider’s new name 
  • Provider retired – Include date provider retired
  • Provider left group – Include date provider left group 

You can fax the request to (803) 382-2415 or mail the request to:
