How do you go about billing medicare & medicade for sevices provided to their clients? Are their forms? Where?

Answer 1

If you're not an enrolled provider, you can't. You'll have to bill the patient and they'll have to submit the claim.

If you want to enroll as a provider, you'll have to go the the Medicare website and fill out a provider enrollment form and wait for them to approve you. You then can bill them direct.

You might want to read over their fee schedule too. Medicare does not allow you to bill more for a particular service then their schedule allows for that service.

Answer 2

Yes, there are forms called CMS-1500 form - formally known as the HCFA-1500 form. You can get these form any office supply store. They are about to make a change in the forms, they are changing them due to NPI numbers. If you are a participating provider you will need to set your provider numbers up in the system and once you enter the patients info in the system it will generate a claim for you. Medicare will pay Non-participating provider but at a lower rate and you cannot charge the patient more than the limiting charge. Medicare will usually not take a paper claim if you are participating. For Medicaid, you have to be enrolled with a provider number in order to have them pay your claims. First what you need to do is to contact your local Medicare and Medicaid office and ask them to send you a provider agreement. Once you complete it you can bring it or mail it to them and they should notify you within 90 days of your provider numbers. Good Luck and you can IM me if you have any other questions.

Answer 3

Fill out a claim form....

Medicare may not pay you if you're not signed up with them... What type of service was provided? You may not even need to bill them... I've worked in insurance & health care for 10+ yrs... File electronically if you can!!! Its much fast.
