Medicare Credit Balance Quarterly Reminder
This is a reminder to submit the Quarterly Medicare Credit Balance Report. The next report is due in our office postmarked by April 30, 2015, for the quarter ending March 31, 2015. A Medicare credit balance is an amount determined to be refundable to the Medicare program for an improper or excess payment made to a provider because of patient billing or claims processing errors.
Each provider must submit a quarterly Medicare Credit Balance Report (CMS-838) and certification for each individual PTAN.
If you have general questions related to the Credit Balance report, refer to the CGS Credit Balance Report (Form CMS-838) website or call the Provider Contact Center at 1-877-299-4500 (Option 1). If you have questions about withholding, call 1-877-299-4500 and select Option 4.
