Episode #65 - FAQs of Opting Out of Medicare
Manage episode 335574789 series 2801557
Opting out of Medicare has caused a lot of confusion for NPs and other providers. Not understanding what it means can lead to problems & fines.
In this episode of the NP Business Matters Podcast (Episode #65) I address:
- The Social Security Act and how that impacts providers.
- When you can bill Medicare and when you don't have to.
- What it means by opting out of Medicare.
- Can you just refuse to see Medicare recipients?
- Can I just have them sign something that says they understand I don't bill Medicare?
- I've never had a Medicare provider number, can I just not credential with them?
