Credentialing For a Hospitalist

(1/1)

Csinsay:
Hi, I need assistance credentialing for a Hospitalist.   Because this physician is a Hospitalist, she sees patients in a hospital and does NOT have her own office.   When filling out the Medicare Form 855I, I do not know what to write in Section 4 - "Practice Location Information".  The doctor gave me two addresses...  a UPS mailbox (with a regular address and not P.O. Box) and her home address.   Which one should I enter as the Practice Address Location?   Also, she is in the process of getting privileges to a hospital but it is not Fully Approved yet.  I just called Palmetto GBA and they were no help at all.   ANY help anybody can give me would be very much appreciated!   Thanks in advance!!! 

rdmoore2003:
the practice address should be that, where she is delivering services.

Csinsay:
Thank you, Regina.   Since she would be rendering her services in the hospital,  I was thinking the hospital address.  But she needs to get approved for privileges first. 

rdmoore2003:
her address to send the payment should be different than the hospital address where services are rendered.   she can use her po box if that is how she prefers.
