Physicians, non-physician practitioners (NPPs), and other Medicare Part B suppliers must enroll in the Medicare program to be paid for covered services furnished to Medicare beneficiaries. To assist Fellows in navigating their contractual relationships with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), this section answers a number of questions surgeons may have about becoming a participating Medicare provider.
Note: Providers must make their 2020 Medicare participation determination by December 31, 2019.
Surgeons who have questions about participating in the Medicare program may contact Lauren Foe, ACS Division of Advocacy and Health Policy, at lfoe@facs.org.
