How to Get Connected - HETS UI

This section is intended as a guide to assist users with the Individuals Authorized Access to the CMS Computer Services (IACS) registration process for the HETS UI application. The detailed guides are available from the IACS Website under "Related Links Inside CMS".  CMS is currently pilot-testing this system.

 

IACS Registration

The User Roles for the HETS UI application are defined as follows:

Security Official – The official of a Provider's office or organization who registers with IACS as that organization's Security Official. This person also registers the facility or organization with IACS using an online version of the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) form. There can be two Security Officials at a facility or organization – a primary and a backup. Users in this role also approve the "User/Approver(s)" for their organization. This role, however, cannot be an actual end user of the application; the end user being the person that requires access to a CMS application to perform assigned work tasks interacting with the application.

User/Approver – Users in this role approve end user requests for access to the HETS UI Application. This role is also known as an External Point of Contact (EPOC) and performs the function of approving user access to CMS applications but cannot be an actual end user of the application; the end user being the person that requires access to a CMS application to perform assigned work tasks interacting with the application.

User/Provider – The end-user of the HETS UI application.

If you have questions about the roles described above, please contact the MCARE Help Desk on the Contact Us page for guidance.
