The CMS Individual Authorized Access to the CMS Computer Services (IACS) system access will be changing to a new platform called Enterprise Identity Management (EIDM) during the First Quarter of 2015.  Please monitor the Novitas website for additional information on this change that will be forthcoming.

This change will affect and impact your business.  Find out what you will need to do to ensure your access to the new system is available prior to this change below!

What is EIDM?

CMS has established the Enterprise Identity Management (EIDM) website to provide our Business Partners with a means to apply for, obtain approval, and receive a single User ID they can use to access one or more CMS applications.

How Does This Impact You?

Your existing accesses under IACS will be transitioned over and supported by the CMS EIDM System, during the First Quarter of 2015.  See current IACS Applications that will be supported by EIDM below!

What You Need To Do

If you have an IACS User ID and password, you do not have to register again for a User ID and password. Continue to use your IACS User ID and password when you log in.

If you do not currently have access to IACS, and you are registering for one of the applications below prior to this transition, please continue to use the IACS registration procedures detailed on CMS website.  If you choose to wait until after this transition, you will need to wait and register within the EIDM system.
