Medicare assignment not listed

CMS data do not show whether this clinician accepts Medicare assignment. This does not mean they do not accept Medicare. Ask the office.

Medicare assignment applies to Original Medicare. It does not tell you whether the clinician is in a Medicare Advantage plan's network, accepts other insurance, or is taking new patients.

No telehealth indicator

CMS shows this indicator only when recent Medicare claims include telehealth services. The clinician may still offer telehealth; ask the office.
