Beneficiary Permanent Address on File with Social Security

Just a quick reminder to ensure that when a claim is prepared for submission to the DME MAC, the beneficiary’s permanent mailing address as listed with Social Security should be listed in item five of the CMS 1500 claim form or the electronic equivalent. This will ensure the correct jurisdiction is billed and avoid denials and rework for incorrect jurisdiction. The address on file with Social Security is the address where the beneficiary receives their monthly social security benefits.
