I hope someone can help!

We are a CAH and have a few patients that have been admitted as inpatient to the hospital. The insurances are Medicare part B only and Utah Medicaid.

My problem is, because it is inpatient and part B only, all claims are coming back from Medicare as "Patient cannot be identified as our insured."

So, we then bill Medicaid, and they reject it saying we have to bill Medicare first.

How do we deal with this?
