Guides

Riverbend recognizes that providers require information about the Medicare program, including eligibility requirements, billing and claims issues in order to manage Medicare-related matters on a daily basis.

As part of our continuing efforts to address this need we have gathered together the following materials regarding helpful resources available to you in the provider community.

CERT

The Comprehensive Error Rate Testing (CERT) program began in 2002 and is a major contributor to the Riverbend program. Many providers have questions about the CERT program, such as how they are to be involved, and how the program works in relation to the Medicare program already in place. Riverbend is committed to providing information that will help providers understand the CERT program and the issues related to it.
