What is Medicare?

Medicare is a health insurance program supported by the federal government and established to support the healthcare requirements for individuals who are 65+ years of age or those who have special needs or disabilities. TempDev offers revenue cycle support and quality insights to help you better understand and streamline your medical billing process and compliance with Medicare

    TempDev offers consulting to help you better navigate the Medicare rules and requirements, no matter how convoluted they may seem. We help you stay up-to-date and current with regulatory issues to avoid burnout and potential compliance issues.

    What Are the Benefits of Medicare? 

    Medicare is something that many American just use as a matter of health insurance, but there are a number of benefits you should know about for your patients. 

      While your patients may incur additional costs for copay or coinsurance, Medicare probably will cover most of the medical costs for your patients. If your patients need other benefits for hearing, dental, or vision, they will likely need to seek out additional coverage options or pay the out-of-pocket costs for those services unless they have chosen a Medicare Advantage plan. 

      TempDev offers support with your medical billing issues. We help you understand the policy changes to avoid denied claims for insufficient documentation, duplication, late submission, or incorrect data.
