One of the most significant reasons why Medicare enrollment has declined drastically is because there are simply many inaccurate or incomplete applications. This is because the 885I and 855R CMS forms are extremely complex and can be difficult to understand, even for professionals.
One might argue that this process was intentionally designed to be this difficult so that fewer people would be able to enroll. This is, of course, unacceptable. We need to take steps to ensure that you get what you deserve by law.
What Are the Consequences of Incorrectly Completing these Forms?
Many negative outcomes are directly tied to amount of delayed Medicare enrollment applications. And, it is the applicants who suffer the most. This results in everything from delayed reimbursements, to not having coverage when you need it the most.
It can also lead to providers simply not having the information they need to give proper care to their patients.
Simply put, applicants are not able to go through the Medicare credentialing process and they’re often left without anything.
