This is not at all related to AC but I am curious. Is anyone else having problems with Railroad Medicare? I have a PM program through which I send electronic claims to regular Medicare and to Anthem. All the rest of my claims go paper (for now). These are printed out using my PM program. I have no problems with any other insurance telling me the information lies outside the boxes and lines on the HCFA 1500. But RR Medicare is refusing to pay because my X's and O's are not 100% in the little boxes provided. I have adjusted my forms about as much as I can but still no go. We are having to now fill these out by hand. Others here in my area seem to also be having problems getting paid from RR Medicare. I am about ready to give them the old heave ho.

Leslie,
We are using a billing service but keep getting rejections from RRMC with statements that patients are not eligible, codes or modifiers are incorrect (even when no modifier was submitted) or even claiming that submissions are too late for DOS. They are also so difficult to call up to get these issues cleared up. The heave ho sounds about right.

Yup Francisco. We are trying one last thing. We are going to try to complete the paperwork to file electronically and, if it is too complicated or too long to get approved they are toast. Glad to hear my area is not being selectively persecuted.
