: PO Box that has a physical address
: PsychBiller January 08, 2020, 11:05:25 AM

I know that a PO box cannot be used as a billing address, however, our local Post Office let's you use the physical address of the Post Office, and you just add your box number to it, so the box number effectively looks like a suite number (72 Bond St, #245). Would this be an acceptable workaround to use a PO box as a billing address?

That's interesting.  My first reaction is that it is still a PO Box so I would think 'no'.  At least for Medicare and other carriers that state you cannot use a PO Box.  They have this rule to try to crack down on fraud.
