Yeah, I guess I had not had my coffee yet, I don't know where i got Medicaid from and I totally missed Medicare as secondary..
Yes Medicare will take paper secondary claims but you will need the EOB still.

As for what carriers accept electronic claims.. with the exception of some small TPA's, WC, PI most all have the capability of receiving electronic claims. Most of the insurance cards out there will tell you and even include the payor ID. There is also a book out there called Insurance Directory Handbook and I believe they update every 1-3 years, it has contact addresses, claims addresses, plan's, etc, it's pretty handy, my edition is a few years old I think.

Most Medicare carriers are requiring that claims be submitted electronically, even if Medicare is secondary. If you are not capable of submitting your claims electronically you can apply for a waiver. An office with less than 10 full time employees can obtain a waiver granting them permission to file on paper. The CMS requires you to obtain a waiver certificate “demonstrating extraordinary circumstances”. If accepted by Medicare, they can then file claims on paper. If you do not qualify for the waiver then you must find a method to submit your claims electronically.

Thanks,
Amit

How do you submit a copy of the EOB along with your claim when Medicare is secondary? We can bill Medicare electronically but am unsure as to how we could get the EOB to go with the claim....
