Will your Medicare Claims continue to pay after January 1, 2020? Are you ready for the BIG Change? No, we are not talking about PDGM, but that is coming, too.

In 2018, Medicare began the process of issuing a Medicare Beneficiary Identifier to all eligible participants. Home Health and Hospice Providers should be using this identifier in place of the HICN or Social Security Number for billing purposes at this time.  All Claims submitted on or after January 1, 2020 should have the MBI, even for dates of service prior to the effective date.
