We have a physician that is going to start seeing patients this week but we have not heard back on his provider application. Will Medicare go retroactive to the requested date that was put on the application?

Once they approve him/her, the effective date will go back to the date that this person first started seeing patients. I would hold all billing until he is active in order to save processing errors. This is only for Medicare. Commercial insurances do not allow this.

The new regulations allow retroactive billing for only 30 days prior to the billing effective date....
