Non-Par w/ Medicaid but patient needs care
kclayton:
I have a question. We are not yet approved with a few medicaid states. We have a petient in one of those states but still wants the DME product. Can I charge he patient even though he has medicaid (we will not be billing medicaid)? Do I charge the patient the amount I subit to medicare? Medicare allowable? Thanks for your help.
Michele:
You need to check the state laws for that state. Each state has different laws on if Medicaid eligible patients can be billed.
PMRNC:
In most states it's no, because they have access to a Medicaid provider. Defeats purpose of patient's eligibility of Medicaid. If the provider takes the patient it will be at their own loss.
SLITTLES:
The patient would need to find a Medicaid provider that is contracted with their state. Also your services should have one price regardless of payor source.
pvtbiller:
we are a sole source manufacturer and provider so they would not be able to find a participating provider.
