Medicare Claims
Millin Medical Associates can help you with your Medicare Claims
Medicare Claims is the process Healthcare providers use to submit bills or "claims" to insurance companies and the government in order to receive payment for their services.
The process of Medicare Claims is normally taken care of by the provider or medicare itself,
and usually not by the patient most of the time, so a medical billing and consulting company
is of great help to both the provider and the patient.
The Medical claim is filed on the patients behalf, by either the physician, medicare or a medical billing service. As healthcare reimbursement rules, processes and regulations become more complex on Long Island,
providers can save alot of valuable time by having a medical billing company
like Millin Associates LLP handle all of their medicare claims.
As soon as your Medicare Claims are processed, (and they are usually handled quarterly) you will receive a Medicare Summary Notice (MSN) from the billing company that is handling the bills for medicare, which will list all of the patients received services and the amount that may be billed or paid in some instances.
If you disagree with the decision on the MSN, you may have a second-level appeal or reconsideration filed by a Qualified Independent Contractor or QIC.
If you have Medicare Advanced (formerly Medicare plus choice),
you have access you have a right to a quick fast-track review by a
Quality Improvement Organization or Q10, if you think you are being discharged
from a hospital, clinic, or other facility too early.
In order to receive Medicare A for Hospital, Skilled nursing care or Medicare-approved
Home Health care services and equipment for free, you or your spouse will have had to
have previously worked for at least 10 years (or 40 quarters) under Medicare covered employment.
Medicare Part B covers Doctor, lab and outpatient visits and normally requires a premium,
as well as the Medicare RX (prescription) program.
If the Doctor or facility has said they will "accept assignment" of the medicare approved claim,
that means that the patient will not be charged any additional fees
and medicare will directly pay the provider the assigned fee for the service.
