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 January 30, 2019, for the quarter ending December 31, 2018. 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.
