Article Overview

This article addresses a practical Medicare Part B billing question for practices whose physicians are not participating providers.

The piece is most relevant to billing staff, compliance personnel, and physician practices that handle Medicare claims or need clarification on patient-submitted versus provider-submitted claims.
