Hello,
I have a strange situation and I am not confident in my stance.
Medicare’s regulations are not specific to this situation from everything I have read.

The Locum Tenen (Fee for compensation) Arrangement:

So, my provider was out, brought in this locum and has a valid license.
However, the acting locum "substitute" provider has been barred to re-enroll with Medicare until a much later date.
I know we are not enrolling this provider, but I felt strange about this.

I was concerned about the barred re-enrollment meaning they could not be a substitute for a Medicare Covered Service despite this being filed under my provider’s credentials.

Should we be okay to proceed in billing this service under the locum tenen arrangement?

Am I being paranoid?:o

Thank you for your feedback!
