Medical coverage in Dec and January
Now that 1/6 th of the US economy is turning to end of year contract renewals/program coverage selections, I get the feeling that there is an awful lot of tension on the part of providers regards in network/out of net work, correct billing insurance company and specific program.
I got a letter from a cpap durable med supplier today that medicare refused to cover because I was on medicare substitute provider that may not be in the providers network irregardless that the insurance carrier has diligently paid the cpap bill without delay the last 12 months. In the past 30 days the carrier has sent me three different membership cards and was the purpose of a meeting tomorrow, I had set up with provider get them the right card. Its also only about eight workdays since I turned medicare eligible, and wonder how the cpap provider had communicated with Medicare without my permission or copy of medicare card and gotten a reply in that short a period of time.
With a total fruitbasket turnover of policies and lightning fast electronic communication available to this economy, getting medical attention in Dec/Jan will be dicey unless on a cash basis.
The supplier closing statement was they expect me to pay for there service at list prices and sincerely hope to retain my business.
Stay close to home and don't get sick in Dec/Jan
