Medicare Credentialing

Credentialing with Medicare is required to bill Medicare for medical services whether you wish to be a participating or a non-participating provider. The credentialing involves completing an application which may involve several different forms.

When you credential to become a Medicare provider you may choose to participate with Medicare or to not participate with Medicare. We offer more information on the benefits of participating here.

We offer the service of completing Medicare applications for you. Here's how it works.

We'll fax or email you a list of the required information for the appropriate forms you need completed
Send us the required info to complete the application
We will complete your application and email or fax it back to you within two business days to be signed and submitted

Make sure you have the right forms completed and done correctly by using our professional service.

Here's how to tell what you need.

A solo provider practicing by himself (or herself) will need an 855I and an 588 EFT (electronic funds transfer) form, and a 460. Our charge to complete these is $125.00.

A group of providers who have a PC or LLC (or any corporation) will need an 855B and an 855I (for each individual provider) an EFT, a 460 and an 855R if there are two or more owners. Our charge to complete these forms is $225. A group application includes up to four individual providers. There is a $20 charge for each additional provider over four.

If a provider is the sole owner of a corporation, they can complete an individual application (CMS 855I) and still report the corporation and EIN/Tax ID number. They do not need to complete a group application. They can also have other providers who work for them and reassign their benefits. Again, the key here is two or more owners of a corporation require completion of an 855B and 855I. Single owner of a corporation needs only an 855I.

Michele will name herself as the contact person for the application process, will handle any questions Medicare may have regarding the application and will follow through to the end.

We also offer other credentialing services as well. Do your medical credentialing the easy way, let us complete the application for you.
