Providers may check the status of their
paper or online applications through First Coast’s tool.
Note: Your application status
may not be available until
15 days of the date it is received by First Coast.
This versatile application allows you to check the status of your enrollment in the Medicare program in four ways:
• You may search for all active/pending applications by entering your NPI or PTAN
• You may check the status of a specific application by entering the nine-digit DCN (document control number) or 12-digit correspondence control number (CCN) and three-digit record number (listed in your acknowledgement letter)
• You may check to determine if you have been sent a revalidation request letter by entering your NPI or PTAN
• You may check on the status of any pending applications by entering the internet-based PECOS Tracking ID.
Use this option to check the status of any pending enrollment applications associated with your NPI or PTAN.
1. To search for all pending applications that are currently “in process,” select the All active applications tab (note the tool defaults to this tab upon arriving to the page):
2. Enter your 10-digit NPI (numbers only) and/or enter your six-digit PTAN (numbers and letters)
