Can you bill a Medicare Patient for Missed Appointment or
No-Show? If yes, do you bill Medicare for missed appointment?

You also DO NOT bill Medicare directly for missed appointment by
the beneficiary. Instead, you must bill the patient/beneficiary
directly.

My suggestion - educate your patients first before you implement
this in your practice. Make a posts in your waiting room, exam
room and at the front desk window regarding this change.
