Reader Question:

Medicare Guidelines

Published on Thu Aug 01, 2002

Question: Where can I find specific rules for billing Medicare? I went through our Medicare billing manual but is does not address my question. Ohio Subscriber Answer: The Medicare Carriers Manual is at http://www.hcfa.gov/pubforms/ 14_car/b00.htm. Or you can contact your local Medicare vendor and ask a representative for the local medical review policy (LMRP) for the procedure in question. Answers to Reader Questions provided Steven M. Verno, NREMTP, CMBSI, director of reimbursement for Emergency Medicine Specialists, Hollywood, Fla.; Catherine A. Brink, CMM, CPC, principal of Healthcare Resource Management Inc. in Spring Lake, N.J.; and Stephanie L. Jones, NR-CMA, NR-CAHA, CPC, vice president of operations, Aztec Medical Systems, Miami. $ $ $
