"The way I understand it, in the medicare claims submission process, if there are multiple claimants for a patient within the billing period, the claimants need to coordinate with each other.  Is this correct?  What info about the other claimants does medicare give you?"

I'm not sure what you mean here.  You bill for your Medicare services, you don't need to 'coordinate' with any other providers who may have seen the patient around the same time period.  And I'm not sure what you mean by 'billing period'.    Sorry but I think I'm missing the question.

I am pretty ignorant in this regard.  What I have heard from some of our users is that if more than one provider has submitted a claim for a patient (hospital, nursing home, home care), medicare responds with the  numbers of the other providers, and the billing personnel have to lookup the other provider.  I have been assuming they had to contact them, since they user our site to locate contact information. 

Is this just inaccurate in your opinion?

I know that if we have a technical problem or programming error, our users contact us right away, they depend on the site for these lookups.

Michele:
I have never heard of anything like this.  Maybe it is for some other form of billing or something, but it is certainly news to me.

No. No carrier would distribute data back to a provider on other providers .
