Providers ought to be scared shitless of more Medicare-like involvement in the payment process. Here's one for you. I just had a call from a customer who had had a huge stack of Medicare claims denied for the fourth time. Why? This time, because they want the word "NONE" in the field for Group # in the claim. I guess this seems reasonable, except NO MEDICARE CLAIM has a group #. So, Medicare, in its wisdom, instead of paying the claims and solving the problem, sent them back so my customer could RE-FILE a stack of claims, which must be reprocessed from the beginning, simply because she inadvertently left the word "NONE" out of a box that would NEVER, EVER be filled in on a Medicare claim. This is the kind of absurd crap we deal with, day in, day out. The gov't provides instructions on how to fill out its forms. In fact, when the gov't wants something left blank, they say leave it blank. Maybe your clients might not encounter difficulties if they followed the instructions.
