Post Medicare Part B Billing Application
Author: barbvolk
Date: Jul 25, 2011 5:46 pm
We are a hospice provider who is developing a Palliative Care Program and must complete the application for Part B. Does anyone know which Medicare Application is the correct one. Our Medical director is Certificed in Hospice and Palliative Care and will oversee the program and our NP will perform the consult visits. Is the correct form CMS -855B or CMS 855I or neither one. If anyone can help I would appreciate it.

Thanks

You will need both; the 855B for the program and the 855I for each provider if they do not have a number already and also an 855R for each provider to reassign their benefits to the program. Call or email me if you have any questions.
