Time is running out for you to submit claims for services provided in 2009. Carriers are reminding practices that the rules for timely claims submission has changed and physicians no longer have up to 27 months to file a claim for reimbursement. All claims must be filed within 12 months.
The Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) First Coast says practices should "allow time for mailing as the timeliness is calculated on the contractor receipt date, not the postmark date of when it is mailed."
