The following announcement is being mailed and faxed to Administrators of all dialysis facilities in Florida. If you are not the correct person to receive this email, we ask that you forward it to the correct individual(s).
CROWNWeb is Nearly Here
The implementation date for the electronic data submission required by the new Conditions for Coverage is just around the corner. CROWNWeb is the application designated by CMS to meet this requirement.
How Do I Get Access to CROWNWeb?
Every facility (whether they are an independent, a regional chain or part of a large dialysis organization) will need to identify their Security Administrator and Backup Security Administrator for CROWNWeb. This will be the person responsible for assigning roles and scope within the CROWNWeb application for other users at your facility. To designate your facility’s Security Administrator you need to fill out the CROWNWeb Authentication Service (CAS) Account Form. This is an online form available at https://www.qualitynet.org/crown/registration_form.pdf. The form must be either TYPED directly into the online form and printed; or printed as a blank form and TYPED on a typewriter. No hand written forms can be accepted. The printed form must then be signed by both the person designated as the Security Administrator and their manager and notarized. The original notarized form, not a fax or copy, should be sent to the Network office no later than December 15. If your facility does not designate a Security Administrator, your facility will not be able to submit data electronically to CMS and will unable to comply with new Conditions for Coverage for electronic data submission.
NOTE: The CAS form requires signatures from three different people. Do NOT sign as your own manager and neither you nor your manager may notarize the form.
Important Date to Remember:
12/15/2008
