Become Medicaid/Medicare provider

Specialties Private Duty

Published

Hello,

I am new here. I am in the process of planning my own business, either home care (private duty) or care manager (I just became aware of this title; is anyone familiar with it?). I read in an old post that a nurse became a Medicaid/Medicare provider and apparently was able to use those resources as sources of payment. Does anyone know how you become a M/M provider? And, how fast do you get your payments from them?

Thanks

@sunrock, do you know what is currently the rate for an adult private duty care(rn) that medicaid would pay? And how long it usually take from the moment I send an application to getting my number so I could work.

Thanks for your help!

Can a Registered Nurse in any state apply for a NPI #? I am currently living in Tennessee and am having difficulty determining if I can get reimbursed like this here. If anyone has any information regarding this I would greatly appreciate it!

Hello. I have put my application in to be a private duty nurse as a Medicaid Provider in OH. I am told it is taking 90-120 days to get your Medicaid Provider ID number. If anyone has information that will be helpful/informational, I would appreciate it very much. It was good seeing other peoplethat are interested in this and hearing what they are saying! Thanks.

If you google Tennessee private duty nurse, a tennessee.gov web site pops up:

Hopefully, you can find answers to your questions at the above link.

Are you making headway getting your NPI #?

I'm a M/M provider in Wisconsin. Here our rate of pay is $21.xx/hr for an LPN, and $32.xx/hr for RN. Does anybody know what the rate of pay is in Illinois? I have looked all over and can't find a job board for Illinois patients.
