New Email Service for Medicare Part B Inquiries from Trailblazer Health Enterprises

Recently Trailblazer Health Enterprises, the Medicare intermediary for Texas and other states sent out the following announcement:

Medicare Part B

Do you have general questions and need quick answers? You can now e-mail Medicare at:

     partbtx@trailblazerhealth.com

You can inquire about:

  • Specific guideline
  • What additional information is needed on a claim
  • Medicare Remittance Notice
  • CMS rulings
  • Where to find procedure allowable
  • We cannot respond to "patient specific" or protected health information, Appeals or MSP inquires via e-mail.

If Trailblazer is not your Medicare intermediary, check to see if your state's Medicare carrier has a similar way to get your Medicare questions answered through a simple email inquiry.
