What a nightmare to change a practice location with Medicare. I did what I always do, add the new location with the intention of going back at a later date to then delete the old location.
I submitted the 855I 3.5 months ago! Today, I finally get this back:
"PHYSICAL LOCATION AND SPECIAL PAYMENTS ADDRESS Each practice location is required to have a different telephone number that rings at that location directly. You are required to change the phone number for one of the locations so that the phone numbers are different."
3.5 months for that!?!?!? No other errors. I bill for a lot of LCSWs who only use cell phones and bill from multiple offices, all using the same # and have never been flagged by Medicare?
Is this new?
I guess I need to now expire the old address. Wonder how long that will take?
thanks!
