Maria KolakBureaucracy at its finest. 25% of health money is spend on bureaucracy.

god help you if you live in nyc and looking to enroll as a provider. I paid a credential specialist to enroll in medicare for the state of new york but they only got me medicare queens. Why Queens is separate from New york downstate is beyond me but now i have to figure out how to get medicare downstate and medicare upstate after i already paid someone to do this shit

[@veerajmehta754]

I'd love to help! This is random but I'm working on software so you don't have to go through this :)

[@amyshreves5365]

I have 21 providers that I credential for and they are all enrolled with Medicare as "ordering and referring". If I am understanding everything correctly, I need to enroll them as "Providers" (855I) in order to see Medicare Advantage patients. Is this correct? If so is there an easier way to "convert" them or do I have to complete a new application for each provider?

I am interested in becoming a provider for non-emergency medical transportation for Medicaide/Medicare; the PECOS form doesn't appear to be the correct application for me. Hope someone can help.

[@luisp1535]

Same here; it doesn’t have a non emergency ambulance option

[@PivotHER]

[@jaytravel-12]

@@PivotHER yes me to would like to know ???

[@jaytravel-12]

did you find info yet

[@americanmuse]

Why on earth is this necessary? Simply another redundant layer of needless bureaucracy!

[@duanerobert3760]

+AmericanMuse this is government control in full throttle. Makes us mad that we have to do this

[@WDE1121]

+Duane Robert You're mad because you have to submit an application before you get paid by Medicare?

[@WDE1121]

In order to get paid to see Medicare patients, doctors have to go through an application process. No different from getting a mortgage, job, etc. How is that unnecessary government bureaucracy?
Should the government allow anyone to sign up without any scrutiny whatsoever?

[@crownprp]

+WDE1121 This video is primarily about dental prescribers of MEDICATIONS for patients with Medicare. It is NOT about getting paid from the feds for those prescriptions. This is merely "required" to be able to provide Rx's to Medicare patients. We already have a DEA number, so you'd think the feds would just use that as a valid ID. Instead this just adds another layer of bureaucratic BS.

[@docv1010]

+WDE1121 this is not a new application that the letter from CMS told some of us to come here for. I am ALREADY REGISTERED,, as are others. It's just making us re-do what they already have.
