On October 25, 2013, National Government Services (NGS)
will officially take over as the new carrier for Medicare Parts A and B for all
of New England.
In order
to be paid, all physician offices must
change their electronic data interchange by October 25, 2013. In order to do
this, register as soon as possible on the
NGS website.
If you contract with a billing company, your company should be aware of the transition. Check with your billing company to ensure that it is taking the steps to make your office compliant with the new system.
If you do your own billing, and you currently use the free NHIC software, you
will need to convert to the NGS free software program. Click here for more information about the new software program.
