Registering for C-SNAP

Registration for C-SNAP consists of five easy steps and only takes moments to complete. Each user of C-SNAP in your office would need to register with their own unique information. (For example: if you have 3 people in your office who will be using C-SNAP, all 3 people would have to register separately and with their own personal information as well as the provider information they are requesting access.) Accounts should be created for each user and no one should share accounts.

Step 1 - Registrant Information
You will need the users personal contact information, as well as the providers NPI, PTAN, first and last name, e-mail address, and telephone number. You will choose a User Login ID that uniquely identifies your account each time you log in. If you wish to apply for immediate access to C-SNAP, you will need the TAX ID number.

Step 2 - Location Access
In order to gain access to patient eligibility and claims status data, you must identify the locations of the billing provider numbers you will require access to using their TAX ID numbers. These location access requests will be immediately forwarded for approval. After completing the registration process, additional TAX ID's can be added using Update My Account.

Step 3 - Immediate Access
If you choose to continue, you will be able to create your own password and see the status of the locations that you are requesting access. If you bypass immediate access, a password will be mailed to the address on file for the billing provider number you are registering with.

Step 4 - Verification
Verification is accomplished using a Remittance Notice with an issue date 14-90 days prior to today. If a TAX ID number was previously entered, then data from just one Remittance Notice is needed. Otherwise, data from two separate Remittance Notices will be required.

Step 5 - Password Creation
After passing verification, you will create a personal password for your account. Subsequent access to C-SNAP is provided when you login with both your User Login ID and your personal password.

CMS requires WPS to send a hardcopy letter to the practice location(s) for all new NPIs that do not have an administrator set up on C-SNAP. The letter will have the users name listed on it along with instructions on how to grant access to the new user. Please inform the physical location of this letter to ensure it gets into the appropriate hands. Once action is taken on the letter, you will receive an e-mail explaining what action was taken.
