Re: Got my CMS money and it was way more than I expected

[Guest guest]

Congratulations! 

 

And remember....MU is based on ALLOWABLE charges, not what CMS pays you.

 

 

And I dont bill MC that much. Maybe I got some of the $ from my moonlighting job (but they have not asked for it back) , dont know for sure. But all that work I was cursing about around the end of last year paid off

Um....allowable is what Medicare allows for the visit, including deductibles and coinsurance that is paid by the patient PLUS what Medicare pays.

 

What CMS pays is exactly that....the dollars that Medicare pays you.
