Medicare Enrollment

Edited

Overview

Unlike commercial payers, we are unable to submit Medicare enrollment applications on behalf of providers. If you intend to see Medicare patients with Nourish, you will need to allocate time during onboarding to submit a Medicare enrollment application yourself.

Even if you are already in-network with Medicare, you will still need to submit an enrollment application to add Nourish to your reassignment of benefits.


Submit a Medicare Enrollment Application

It takes less than 20 minutes to submit an application, and less than 30 days to become an in-network Medicare provider with Nourish! Check out our Medicare Credentialing at Nourish training for step-by-step instructions on submitting your Medicare enrollment application.

Once your application is submitted, be sure to submit the Medicare Credentialing Form so we can track your credentialing status.


Medicare Enrollment Tasks

If additional information is needed to process your enrollment application, our Medicare fee-for-service contractor, Novitas Solutions, will notify you via email. If you require further support to complete the requested task, you can contact Novitas Solutions directly at 1-855-252-8782.


Medicare Enrollment Approval

Once your Medicare enrollment application is approved, you will receive two approval emails from Medicare. One of the emails will contain an attachment which includes your individual PTAN and the reassignment of benefits effective date. Be sure to forward to credentialing@usenourish.com so we can add Medicare to your in-network payers!
