Accepting assignment of Medicare benefits is usual, as Medicare limits the amounts charged by those who don't accept assignment, and people eligible for Medicare generally go to providers who accept assignment. IMO, it's also one of the easiest plans to deal with, from a provider's point of view. Electronic claims are paid within a week. HTH.

I think I'll make a recommendation that they find a way to raise it higher to make it more visible.

But to tell the truth, sometimes I dig through reference after reference and provide those same helpful guidelines that, in the past, literally saved my skin...only to have my post completely and utterly ignored. And sometimes I don't know if the person received it, found something wrong with it and was embarrassed to correct me, or just mass-posted at ten different boards and grabbed the first answer given. The latter possibility bothers me, as I know that goes on...and it is abusive!

So I stopped for a while out of frustration. I'd like to see this bumped up, too, as I am still learning...and billing and coding are constantly changing fields.
