This eLearning course is designed for all professional providers who bill Medicare. The term “professional provider” refers to individual (and groups of) physicians or other recognized health care practitioners and suppliers that submit claims to Carriers, Durable Medical Equipment Medicare Administrative Contractors (DME MACs), and Part B MACs. This course seeks to provide professional providers and their billing staff with general RA information. This course provides instructions to help you interpret the RA received from Medicare and reconcile it against submitted claims. It will give guidance on how to read Electronic Remittance Advices (ERAs) and Standard Paper Remittance Advices (SPRs), as well as information on balancing an RA.
