Marty it sounds like you are aware that you must report G8553 on your medicare patients (minimum 30 Medicare B or Medicare Railroad, but no other Medicare supplemental plans count).

I'm not sure by reading this thread if the others are aware that you cannot report the ERx only through MU. Rather it must be reported separately in order to avoid the 1% penalty.

It's a shame Medicare docked you the fee and now require you to prove it by EOB's. That doesn't quite sound legally appropriate to make you do this.
