If your practice is experiencing a Medicare payment stoppage, call CMA’s reimbursement help line and one of our reimbursement advocates will help you identify and correct the problem.

If you previously called with a Medicare payment problem and received assistance, please call, fax, or e-mail Desiree Rice (contact information is below) and update us on your situation.

If your practice is experiencing financial hardship because of a Medicare payment stoppage, you can request a payment advance from Medicare. Advance requests must be submitted in writing via mail (to NHIC Advance Payments, P.O. Box 54905, Los Angeles, CA  90054-0905) or e-mail (to both eileen.turner@cms.hhs.gov and stewart.streimer@cms.hhs.gov). Be sure to include your name, NPI, legacy ID, average monthly Medicare income, how long your payments have been stopped, and the advance payment amount requested.
