Reminder

by Beth Turnbaugh, Director of Billing Operations

As of January 1, 2020, Medicare will not accept claims with the patient’s Health Insurance Claim Number (HICN) –patients’ social security number (SSN). They are requiring the new Medical Beneficiary Identifier (MBI). Every Medicare recipient should have received their new Medicare Health Insurance Card.

The MBI is a random number that will consist of alpha and numeric characters.
