A claim must be mailed in to be processed.
All information relevant on a HCFA (HealthClaimForm 1500).Standard form, all providers use.
I believe it is the transfer of processed claims from Medicare to Medicaid or state agencies and insurance companies that provide supplemental insurance benefits to Medicare beneficiaries.
Paper medical bills are referred to as HCFA-1500 forms, however Medicare no longer accepts paper bills from providers, all billing must be submitted via electronic claim form. If you are asking this question as the patient, your provider should be the one submitting the bill for reimbursement from Medicare.

No. This is false. - A Medicare participating provider can not decide to accept assignment on a claim-by-claim basis. The provider registers with Medicare as a provider that will accept assignment and must accept assignment on all patients.
A physician is reimbursed 80% when accepting a Medicare claim.
There are three categories of medical providers. Participating providers bill Medicare and accept what Medicare pays. Non Participating providers decide on a case by case basis. If they do not participate for your service, they send in a claim and the check comes to you. It is the Medicare allowed amount minus your deductible or co-insurance. Medicare allows the provider to bill you 115% of the allowed amount. The Medicare Summary Notice with the check details all of this. Private contracting providers file a form with Medicare saying that they will not accept any payment from Medicare for any service or any patient. Once they do so, they can not rejoin for two years. However, they must have the patient sign a form that the patient agrees to receive the service an pay for it without any benefit from Medicare. I will post two links that you might find helpful. Here is hoping that you do not have to call Medicare. The people are very friendly but their hands are tied. To answer the question, no. If the doctor is not a medicare provider then medicare will not reimburse the patient or the doctor.
since the claim is processed than you do not own the car anymore.
A Medicare attorney is the best choice for general Medicare claims. If you specifically have a claim that has been denied, there are even lawyers who specialize in denied claim cases, frequently referred to as denied claims attorneys.
You will need to contact Medicare and submit the claim directly to Medicare yourself.
