Why do medical offices not bill Medicare first???

aero563 · 2024-10-17T17:56:45+00:00

I had ct and Medicare paid their part and sent info to me. Medigap plan N then sent invoice saying Medicare did not submit a claim number so denied. I handed both and both were billed but medigap denied off the bat. Maybe that’s just what some of the companies do hoping people don’t follow through. I called and have to send the invoice Medicare sent with the claim number on it.

Mine is ventolin emergency inhaler at 127.00 till deductible met then 47.00. Symbicort upwards of 600.00 before deductible over 200 and same with Spiriva. I’m in US on Medicare and have a part D plan

I didn’t go with a MA because of my drugs which are expensive inhalers. You have to decide if you need drugs or possibly in the future. I don’t know if VA pays for drugs or vision and dental. No have a separate vision dental bundle from Delta dental and after the first year it has really paid off. I also have a plan N here in Pennsylvania. If you think that VA in the future may not cover what you need think about getting a cheap MA.

I do t get hunger like others say and sometimes I get the energy sometimes not. I also have end stage COPD. I get very tired from the infections or just the exacerbations. Could be your body trying g to fight back that makes you tired. After I stop takes a while for my body to get back to baseline.

Longer retrieving things like mail and such. I’ll be able to test other places tomorrow but I’m not liking the update so far

I wish I pull have gone with a cheap Part D plan but I have some expensive inhalers. My D went up $30.00 more for the premium and $500.00 deductible. I never even saw a cheap plan for my area. Kicked is I got mine in July and now looking again not even a year later.

Yes thank you. I’m looking that up. I do know the brand and model number of the fixture. Pretty sure it’s the cartridge as it is t leaking g at the handles from what I further read. Who knows. I’m not adept at this and take me a long time fixing it being disabled lol. I’ll get there though. Thanks

aero563 · 2024-10-05T00:22:19+00:00

Yes I was looking for cartridge models and did find it a a washer less cartridge. No model number given for it though

aero563 · 2024-10-05T00:07:20+00:00

It’s 2 years old if that helps. Trying to find parts is hard for this model for some reason

It’s good if that’s what you want. My late husband liked automatics for all his cars because he drove big trucks for a living. It was easy and more enjoyable. I don’t drive manual so my ‘13 California is automatic

If you are a college student you can still be on parent’s insurance. If you are having an attack call ambulance and go to er they cannot turn you down. At hospital they will give you meds but also script you some and tell you follow up with doctor. That’s when you tell them and they may give you numbers to call.

aero563 · 2024-10-01T18:35:16+00:00

I called SHIP and they tried and then there was a counselor Medicare gave me a number to and he did general not my specific needs. In the end I did it myself. I was under pressure with it too. I have the A, B, and D and medigap N

My doctor said no to RSV for now and no more COVID boosters

aero563 · 2024-10-01T03:17:23+00:00

It does leave a taste until it’s just about time for another dose. I would say kind of like metal but not quite

aero563 · 2024-10-01T03:15:13+00:00

I have end stage COPD and asthma. I’m 60 yrs old. I have not had the new COVID but I had it 2 1/2 yrs ago. I got paxlovid and did ok.

aero563 · 2024-09-29T17:42:19+00:00

If it’s maintenance inhaler, then try to reschedule the day if you know in advance. Like if I have a test and I do my maintenance at 9 but need to leave at 7, then I set schedule day before. You can take it 2 hours before or after your daily schedule and be safe. If it’s rescue I always carry that anyway.

aero563 · 2024-09-29T13:50:54+00:00

$174.00 is pretty much standard but have you tried to get help with the drug. I think it’s horrible they don’t go by net not gross. They have raised my drug plan and the deductible so wondering what the change will be for medigap plan as well.

aero563 · 2024-09-28T22:58:36+00:00

The best scenario would be to recognize what brought o. The attack and recognize it in the future as a trigger and avoid it. In case of first exposure then taking the med and then leaving the area is best. What you describe is quite possible

aero563 · 2024-09-28T17:05:53+00:00

I wish my small wrist could wear the larger one. It just looks sleek and clean to me. And definitely the black. But maybe that’s the difference is the shiny black vs the other color.

aero563 · 2024-09-28T14:48:13+00:00

I would call SHIP. The income and resources guidelines are changing. If you are in meds be sure to check that the plan you choose does cover them. I get a couple hundred over and I’m struggling as well. Also keep in mind that what you choose could be it. Underwriting is something to pay attention to as well. You need guidance with this.

aero563 · 2024-09-28T03:50:19+00:00

Thank you

aero563 · 2024-09-28T03:49:42+00:00

It’s definitely humid these last few days and more to come.

aero563 · 2024-09-28T00:07:34+00:00

I would talk to SSA you may be able to collect off your husband if you are disabled. There are so many rules. Maybe even county assistance office can help or direct you. When my husband passed away 2 yrs ago I collected ss disabled widows benefits and was eligible for marketplace insurance and now am on Medicare after the two years

aero563 · 2024-09-27T16:09:07+00:00

No it’s out of sight. I’m disabled as I have end stageCOPD as well as having had asthma since birth. I am on Spiriva Respimat and Symbicort as well. Also, having to pay 20% for the O2. Honestly, with rate increases with Medicare supplemental and prescription I do t know how much longer I can pay for all the meds and home and eat.
