I am so confused....Medicare is telling me that they pay by PTAN location.....they tell me they look at box 32 on claim which has the location of servies rendered.
I know that they DO NOT look at this...because we have been billing medicare for YEARS with a certain location, a location that medicare is telling me was deleted from their records back in 2006.
So how could this location have been deleted in 2006 - which we HAVE been billing for since before and after 2006 - AND we have been billing with this address ??
Can anyone make sense of this for me? How does Medicare not know about a location that we have been reporting with for years?
AND what is the point of aquiring the PTAN's if medicare does not even look at POS on claim?
PLEASE HELP
