Re: Full timing and health insurance coverage
Thanks so much for your feedback everyone. Unfortunately, I think you are right - he is either going to have to pay for the pump or go back to shots if he cannot meet the Medicare guideline for an appointment with his physician every three months. Again, I appreciate everyone who took the time to respond!187Views0likes0CommentsFull timing and health insurance coverage
I am an RV'er myself (with a Class A), but my husband and I are still working full time. However, today I am in the Full-Timing Forum to ask for feedback on how full timers handle travel and medical appointments. I realize this is an unusual post, but let me explain. I work for a major health insurance provider and we have a situation with a member who full times and has Medicare as his primary insurance, with our insurance as secondary. This member requires an insulin pump, but Medicare is now refusing to pay for it because the member is not able to attend a regular medical appointment every three months. The member is on the road and cannot always get back to his primary care doctor every three months. I don't want anyone to share their protected health information -- I am just looking for general feedback from anyone who might have experienced similar challenges with Medicare and required medical appointments -- do you use urgent care facilities, do you stop at hospital clinics? Also, this is an individual who consistently moves around, as opposed to a snow bird who goes south for the winter/north for the summer situation. Thank you for any information or tips you can share. Our company would like to assist this member, but we are not sure what to suggest.1.9KViews0likes4Comments
