I want to start a medical billing company. My question is this , I have a doctors office that wants me to bill for dme for them.  Do I need a provider number and do I need to be in network with medicaid or other insurances to bill for the item. What I mean is they want me to give the patient say a knee brace and then I want to be able to bill for it . So maybe it is a stock and bill. Can I do this or do I need to get a dme provider number to delivery and bill. I can not find any to help with this. Any information would be helpful.

Michele:
As a biller you do not need to enroll with Medicare or Medicaid, or apply for a provider number.  The provider needs to be enrolled.  You just bill for the services under the providers information.

PMRNC:
The billing company does need to be on the enrollment as the billing agent though.

Michele:
Yuppers, that is correct.  You need to notify Medicare by a  CMS application that you will be the billing service.
