MSH asked:


I have a friend who is moving from private insurance to Medicare in the near future. How do I find out for him what doctors, psychiatrist, therapists, etc. participate in Medicare? Most likely, the health care providers would be in Connecticut.

Dementia asked:


I’ve run into problems when calling referring doctors’ offices for their NPI numbers, which are necessary if the referring doctor’s name is on the claim. Is the name of the referring doctor ALWAYS necessary on electronically-filed Medicare claims? Some offices don’t even know what one is!
