The idea of opting in or out of Medicare is a frequent question we receive. In this episode of the NP Business Matters Podcast, Short Takes, we discuss this in further detail.
The most important thing clinicians need to understand is when you opt out of Medicare, you are out everywhere. It’s global. You are either in or out. It’s black and white. In this instance, there is no gray.
Links Discussed:
- Social Security Act (Section 1848(g)(4)(A); “Physician Submission of Claims”)
- Requirement to file claims – The Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 1, Section 70.8.8
- Exceptions
- CMS Provider Enrollment, Manage Your Enrollment
