My story,
A patient presents me with a valid Medicare card. Our regional Medifax Data
confirmation system also confirmed the patient has Medicare coverage.
I make the prosthesis. Medicare denies coverage because the Social Security
Data at Medicare Region B overrides the valid Medicare card. No payment for
the prosthesis.
A prominent practitioner in our area said their offices call Medicare on
every patient. Their estimated time on the phone was 30 minutes. He also said
many patients have fake Medicare cards.
Does anyone have any suggestions. My appeal failed.
