Noridian Medicare Portal vs. Noridian Medicare Website: Know the Difference

It's not uncommon for suppliers to be unaware that there are two distinct resources available: the Noridian Medicare website and the Noridian Medicare Portal (NMP). These two platforms serve different purposes, and understanding their functions can be highly beneficial.

The Noridian Medicare website offers a wealth of educational materials and resources. On the other hand, the Noridian Medicare Portal serves as a self-service tool for suppliers, providing various functionalities such as checking eligibility, accessing claim information (including remittance advices), managing claim reopenings and appeals, and much more.

Switching between these two websites is simple:

  • When working within the NMP, clicking on the prominent Noridian icon in the top left-hand corner will take you directly to the main page of the Noridian Medicare website. From there, you can select the jurisdiction you need to access.
  • Conversely, if you find yourself on the Noridian Medicare website and wish to swiftly navigate to the portal, there is a convenient quick link located at the top right of the website for speedy login access. Additionally, a prominent button in the center of the jurisdiction homepage provides the same access.

The Noridian Medicare website serves as a repository for essential resources, including links to CMS, Local Coverage Determinations, Policy Articles, comprehensive documentation, clinician checklists, guidance on submitting claims, strategies for resolving denials, and much more. Noridian also offers webinars for suppliers with registration available on the website, 24/7 self-service tutorials, one-on-one electronic supplier visits, and a range of tools designed to facilitate the reimbursement process.
