Navigating the 2024 Medicare 855 Enrollment Form Updates |
The process of enrolling with Medicare as a provider/organization can be incredibly tedious and time-consuming. Even though Medicare is the largest insurer in the country, the number of new Medicare enrollment applications continues to decline due to the enormous complexities surrounding enrollment application requirements. The cost of getting these enrollment application submissions wrong can have systemic consequences on an organization, including cash flow delays, credentialing issues, coding issues, claims backlogs, denial management issues, patient satisfaction, and even impact quality scores.
