You may have noticed Sam.gov has changed.
POET has been working to find an easy way for you to check for exclusion.
We haven’t given up just yet.
But for those of you that need a process in order to stay on your monthly schedule, follow the link below.
We understand this is a very redundant process.
However, every person in your employment has to be checked on all 3 government websites monthly.

HOSPITALS ARE REQUIRED!!
As of May 1, hospitals are now REQUIRED to electronically share their admit, discharge, and/or transfer (ADT) notices with the patient’s established primary care physician (pcp), group, or other practitioner identified by the patient.
As part of the same rule, PHYSICIANS ARE REQUIRED to update their digital contact information in the National Plan and Provider Enumeration System so hospitals have the information they need to electronically send the ADT notices.
UHC Waives Cost Sharing
UnitedHealthcare (UHC) is waiving cost sharing for Medicare Advantage plan members for primary care services through Dec. 31. This applies to in-network and covered out-of-network COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 visits, whether they are conducted in office or via telemedicine.
Provider Roster Update
Who’s On First?
Or should we say “Who’s in What”
This roster includes all the POET physicians and list what insurance plans they have opt’ed into.
It is a great tool to keep at your front desk or download for the person who makes the referrals in your office.
Oh, just google “Who’s on first” and watch the clip, for a little slap stick humor.
