![Medicare Provider Alert](https://blog.anodyneshoes.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Medicare%20Provider%20Alert.png?width=750&name=Medicare%20Provider%20Alert.png)

**CONTINUE TO GET PAID AFTER JANUARY 1 2020……**

**Do not wait. Update your patients' records and use Medicare Beneficiary identifiers (MBIs) now!**

**Starting January 1, you must use MBIs to bill Medicare regardless of the date of service**! ***\*REMINDER: Use MBI instead of HICN***

If your patients do not bring their Medicare cards with them:

1. Give them the Get Your New Medicare Card flyer in [English](https://naslists.noridian.com/trk/click?ref=zrhr2ijpv_1-3290x3b4e1x014812&) (or [Spanish](https://naslists.noridian.com/trk/click?ref=zrhr2ijpv_1-3290x3b4e2x014812&)).
2. Use your Medicare Administrative Contractor’s look-up tool. [Sign up](https://naslists.noridian.com/trk/click?ref=zrhr2ijpv_1-3290x3b4e3x014812&) for the Portal to use the tool.
3. Check the remittance advice. Until December 2019, we return the MBI on the remittance advice for every claim with a valid and active Health Insurance Claim Number (HICN).
