CMS: Correct Spends from previous year For Disputes

Question -

We have identified some records submitted to CMS last year where the doctor associated with the spend was incorrect. These spends were not disputed.

How do I correct them in the CMS Portal?  

Answer -

For previously submitted years, you will have to delete those records from CMS and add the corrected records, then re-attest. 

The Open Payments website only provides directions for records that failed validation or have been disputed. With this said, you may also want to give CMS a call at 1-855-326-8366.
