The following CMS article is for our clients that are currently not processing claims electronically. Please read this article regarding Mandatory electronic billing and penalty/fines. It appears this is in effect now, however I would say it's up to Medicare to implement.
If you have friends in the DME business not filing electronically send them this email!

Note from mike,
95% of our clients are filing claims electronically, Medicare's numbers are closer to 99%. The customers that are not filing through our clearinghouse may be Printing paper claims or using free Medicare software.
I would like to offer a comment regarding this. The cost of mailing a 1500 form and waiting 27+ days for payment is unacceptable in today's tight economic times. And entering the data into Medicare Free software and then entering it again in to the DME software is a huge waste of time and costs far more in labor than the per claim we charge. There are many other reasons that all clients should be processing claims through our clearinghouse, which I would be happy to discuss.
If you are ready to start processing electronically to Medicare, Medicaid, Blue Cross and Commercial payers all through the same system, saving time and energy drop us a note at support@dmefree.com. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions.
Thank you
