To address inquiries from suppliers regarding consolidated billing, we've introduced a Consolidated Billing Chart on our website's Consolidated Billing dedicated page. This chart is designed to provide clarity on which items fall within or outside the scope of consolidated billing requirements. Suppliers can effectively use this resource in conjunction with the Consolidated Billing Tool and the Noridian Medicare Portal for beneficiary eligibility. This integrated approach empowers suppliers to make informed decisions about service provision, considering that certain items may not be reimbursable under the Consolidated Billing requirements. |
