Novitas, Jurisdiction L

Medicare Part A and Part B for a Maryland practice go to Novitas Solutions, Jurisdiction L, with Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, and the District of Columbia. Virginia and West Virginia use Palmetto GBA, Jurisdiction M.

Professional claims and workers' compensation

Maryland sets hospital rates through an all-payer system. That system is not how a physician office prices a professional claim. A work injury is billed to the employer's carrier under the Workers' Compensation Commission in Maryland. Maryland is not a no-fault auto state.

HealthChoice and Pennsylvania's HealthChoices are easy to confuse and are not interchangeable. The payer ID, the enrollment, and the portal follow Maryland. Medicare can share Novitas Jurisdiction L with a Pennsylvania practice.
