I JUST GOT THE BILL FOR A NEW BACK BRACE A MEDICAL REP AT MY PAIN MGT DOC SOLD/SENT TO ME...THEY BILLED MEDICARE $1000!!!!!
I AM SICK TO MY STOMACH! I JUST CALLED THE COMPANY AND DEMANDED IT BE RETURNED AND THAT MEDICARE BE REIMBURSED THE APPROVED $735 PAYMENT! AS MOST OF YOU KNOW I WENT MONTHS AND MONTHS WITHOUT ANY KIND OF TREATMENT BECAUSE OF THE MEDICARE/MEDICAID MESS AND I WILL N O T BE PART OF THE PROBLEM IN GOOD CONSCIENCE THE REP TRIED TO TELL ME IT IS A SPECIFIC "patented" DESIGN AND THAT MEDICARE AGREED TO THAT PAYMENT----WELL I DID NOT!!!! IT IS MADE BY SOME 10 YEAR OLD CHILD IN CHINA (DON'T GET ME STARTED) FOR ONE DOLLAR!!!!! I URGE YOU ALL TO REVIEW YOUR EXPLANATION OF BENEFITS (EOB's) FROM MEDICARE AND MAKE SURE YOU ARE BEING BILLED CORRECTLY...AND THE ITEMS/PROCEDURES ARE INDEED THINGS YOU HAD DONE. I WORKED FOR DOCTORS IN THE PAST THAT TRIED TO BILL FOR PROCEDURES NOT PERFORMED-NEEDLESS TO SAY I QUIT--- AND WE WONDER WHY OUR "system" IS SUCH A FRIGGIN' MESS. PS: THE REP FROM MY DOCTORS OFFICE WAS NOT AMUSED WHEN I TOLD HER I AM RETURNING THE ITEM...THERE GOES HER COMMISSION!!!!! I TOLD HER I WOULD BUY ONE AT WAL-MART FOR $50 Posted on 09/19/08, 11:09 am |
