Where are the Medicare Payments?

Our Medical Billers at Medical Management Strategies, LLC, (MMS) have been in contact with Medicare daily and as of today, July 2, 2010, we have the following to report.  We have been told by the Medicare Customer Service Department, that June Dates of Service Claims began being processed, yesterday, July 1, 2010.  Many of our clients have large amounts of claims in the pending to be paid status in the Medicare payment system.  If you are interested in knowing how many claims and the dollar value of those claims in the pending status please call the medical biller at  MMS who handles your account and we will be glad to provide to you that information.  We are not able to get an exact date of when you will receive the payments for these claims but we have been told that it will be within the next 14 days, so by July 15, 2010, is what we have been told.
