Reminder: Medicare Credit Balance Report

As a reminder, the Medicare Credit Balance Report for the quarter ending March 31, 2022, is due in our office, postmarked by April 30, 2022.

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 due to patient billing or claim processing errors. Each provider must submit a quarterly Medicare Credit Balance Report (CMS-838)External PDF and certification for each individual PTAN.

Submit your CMS-838/Certification within 30 days of the quarter end date to ensure timely receipt and processing. Use one of the following options. Do not use multiple options or submit duplicate reports.

TIP: To ensure CGS receives your report timely, we encourage you to use the myCGS portal. As an added benefit, myCGS provides an instant confirmation message and the ability to check status. For details, please reference the myCGS User Manual (Forms).
