Medicare Billing Question
« on: June 13, 2018, 06:29:51 PM »
Hello everyone!

To be honest I am super excited to join this! I work for a Physical Therapy practice and we just got contracted with Medicare and all of our claims are getting denied (CO & B7). Although our group is contracted with Medicare our PT is not. Is this going to cause issues when billing? On the CMS 1500 form box J it puts her individual NPI not the group.

This Medicare billing is so confusing to me :( Someone please help.

Thank you!

Ave

Yes, the PT has to be credentialed with Medicare, since she is the rendering provider.

Just to add to this, the PT has to be credentialed, as Kristin stated, but also linked to your group using the CMS 855R.
