Wiki Accepting payments from Medicare patients

[kmetzler@crtmedical.com]

We are a billing company and collect payments on behalf of our clients for the patient responsibility portion of the Medicare claim. The payment is processed through our bank as an aggregate. The question was asked if this is proper to accept these payments in our account on behalf of the client for Medicare patients? I cannot find anything that says that this cannot be done but I am looking for any feedback.

The money is allocated back to the clients at invoicing, every 30 days.
