Get to Know Your MAC Calls & New OTP Webpage Information
To help Opioid Treatment Programs (OTPs) understand Medicare billing, each CMS Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) company will host a teleconference to introduce themselves and educate OTPs on the functions MACs perform; these teleconferences will include information on billing, claims processing, and payment. Find the dates and registration information (PDF) associated with your MAC jurisdiction based on the state of your location. Only register for the MAC call(s) that will process your claims based on your practice location(s). Note that Palmetto GBA is the Railroad Retirement Board MAC processing Medicare Railroad Retirement beneficiaries’ Part B claims nationwide.

We encourage OTPs to begin the Medicare enrollment process as soon as possible so you can bill for services beginning January 1, 2020. Review our enrollment fact sheet for a step-by-step guide through the process.
