Medicare 855B vs Medicaid Enrollment — Both, Not Either
Medicare enrollment is federal and standardized. Medicaid is state-by-state with widely varying timelines. Most practices enroll in both.
Medicare uses the 855 series forms (855B groups, 855I individuals, 855R reassignment, 855A facilities). Medicaid uses each state's own portal and timeline.
