Happy Anniversary, John. Independent providers have to have a Medicaid Provider Number. The last 2 digits are assigned to her rather than an agency. Without that number she can't be paid by Medicaid.

Most of my aides have been from agencies. This lady use to be from an agency. Is the billing process meant to be a pain, or is she just not familiar with it? I'd like to help her with it but so much of it is just gibberish. I got a long lecture of how nursing homes are a drain on medicaid and frankly, they are often nightmarish. The agencies have usually treated me well but I'm told they cost 4 times what an independant costs medicaid. So why would states make their billing process for independants such a cryptic mess? The 24th was my 32nd anniversary as an old man in a wheelchair. Thats right, I've always been old. :) Got that Walter Brenan thing going. I hope y'all are doing well. Not getting many e-mails. Kinda wondering if I fell off the list again?
