North Carolina -Medicare
« on: December 27, 2018, 12:17:36 PM »
Does anyone know if Medicare accept paper claims? I’ve tried several times to contact them and no one could give me a yes or no answer.

They do not accept paper claims unless the provider filed for a exemption.  I'm not even sure if they still grant exemptions any more.

Exemptions are still granted, so long as the office meets the requirements, and sends in supporting documentation.

Hi Kristin,

I am curious to know about the requirements that the provider should meet in order to be able to submit paper claims. I wasn't aware that there may be exceptions. Could you please elaborate a little in detail or guide me on where I can find that list of requirements? Thank you.

Here is a copy of the waiver form for our MAC, all MAC's have their own form:
https://www.nysca.com/w/newspdf/ASCA_Waiver_Request_Form.pdf

By Googling "ASCA waiver requirements" you should get more information.

For my office, we qualify as a small practice, and we have to send in payroll records proving we have fewer than 10 FTE. I get the waiver whenever Medicare notifies me that our existing waiver is up for renewal, simply because there are rare times when we need to send a secondary claim to Medicare on paper, due to ERA glitches, etc.
