Can I register a single MFA device for multiple users?

No. Each MFA device must be used for the SPOT account for which it’s registered. Passcodes generated from unlinked MFA devices will not work. Also, please note that SPOT and IDM accounts may not be shared. First Coast strongly recommends that you register multiple devices to ensure your access to SPOT.

If I am already getting a request to enter a multifactor authentication (MFA) passcode, do I need to register another device to access SPOT?

If you use other applications such as Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) or Provider Statistical and Reimbursement (PS&R) that are hosted on the Identity Management (IDM) system, then you have already completed registration of an MFA device with your IDM account. You are ready to use MFA to access SPOT. CMS uses MFA to verify account holder identity for many of the other applications hosted on its IDM system.

Can I register more than one MFA device?

Yes. It is recommended that you register more than one MFA device. To register a second or third device, follow the steps you took in registering your initial MFA device. When logging into SPOT, you will select only one of these devices to receive your MFA passcode. Registration of additional devices ensures your access to SPOT should other devices not function properly. Passcodes change each time you log in to SPOT.

You can search for billing and coding articles by diagnosis code on the CMS website. The Medicare Coverage Database (MCD) allows you to search for billing and coding articles related to the LCDs in a variety of ways including keywords, “A number,” CPT/HCPCS procedure codes, and ICD-10 diagnosis codes.

What is the difference between LCDs and NCDs?

Local coverage determinations (LCDs) for a specific jurisdiction are developed by the MAC assigned to that jurisdiction. First Coast is the MAC for Florida, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Although the majority of coverage determinations are local, in certain cases, CMS may develop a national coverage determination (NCD) that is applicable to all jurisdictions.
