Cancel a Continuous Query (PDS) Enrollment

You must cancel a practitioner’s enrollment in Continuous Query when they leave your organization. If the practitioner’s enrollment is not canceled, your lack of action might result in a civil money penalty. Once an enrollment is canceled it cannot be reactivated; however, a practitioner can be reenrolled at a future time. Enrollments canceled before their renewal dates are not refunded. You may choose to return the practitioner’s information into the Data Bank subject database when you cancel their Continuous Query enrollment.

Note: Users of ITP or QRXS must cancel a Continuous Query profile through their respective system.

To receive confirmation on your cancellation, check the enrollment confirmation box.Note: If you employ locum tenens practitioners, choosing a future cancellation date is an easy way to automatically end PDS. Setting a future cancellation date is also ideal for retirement situations, where you can set up the enrollment cancellation while processing the rest of a practitioner’s internal paperwork. You can change or remove the future cancellation date anytime prior to cancellation.

Note: Enrollments that are not renewed within one month of the expiration date are automatically canceled. Canceled enrollment data is retained for 4 years, and confirmation of enrollments are provided during that time, upon request.
