One of my clients sees a cash-only concierge doctor. Client has Medicare and F. All last year he had paid provider in cash, provider did not bill Medicare at all. For grins and giggles, I looked up the provider on Medicare.gov- it says he takes assignment.
Client filled out and mailed in a claim form with all of the details. Meridian sent back a letter saying, as of 1990, the provider is required to sign up with Medicare and bill them. If doc refuses to bill, fill our form, etc.
Of course, I asked the client if maybe he should think about changing doctors- he said no. He would be prepared
