Sheri Lechner, this is NOT what I was told. I am billing med management claims to Triwest as I was directed to do! I am billing non homebound client claims to Triwest as I was told by VA. This is an ADDED issue if this is the case. It is getting ridiculous to find things out after the fact. At this point, my VA claims are such a mess IDK how I will ever get them straightened out and paid. I suggest you revisit this and find out what exactly we are supposed to be billing to Triwest.

Anyone hear from VA MPLS if you are suppose to bill TRIWEST for skilled need only?  Basically if they qualify for Medicare, they qualify for Triwest?
