How does a doctor’s participation in Medicare affect reimbursement?
Medicare reimbursement refers to the payments that hospitals and physicians receive in return for services rendered to Medicare beneficiaries. The reimbursement rates for these services are set by Medicare, and are typically less than the amount billed or the amount that a private insurance company would pay.
Four reasons to change your Medicare Advantage coverage
If you're enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan and you're not happy with it, you can switch plans during Medicare's annual open enrollment period. Here are four reasons why you might change coverage.
Important Medicare enrollment dates
Enrollment dates for Medicare are critical. Missing an enrollment date could cost you higher premiums down the line — or it could cost you coverage entirely.
Who should I contact if I have an issue with my Medicare coverage?
You can usually address many Medicare Advantage or Part D enrollment issues by contacting Social Security or 1-800-MEDICARE. But you have to appeal coverage denials directly to your insurer.
Q: What recommendations does Medicare offer in order to avoid identity theft?
A: First, never divulge your personal information to anyone who calls or visits to offer Medicare services.
Unless you’ve initiated a call with your medical provider or health plan, never reveal:
Generally speaking, your private insurer or Medicare professionals won’t call you. If you have questions, you’ll initiate the contact. But it is possible to get a call from your agent/broker who enrolled you in your plan, or from your health plan. If you’re concerned about the legitimacy of the call, you can hang up and initiate a new call (either to your agent/broker, or to your insurer) so that you’re certain you’re speaking with the correct people.
You can also receive a call from 1-800-MEDICARE if you called and left a message indicating that you’d like a representative to call you back. You could also get a call back from your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (Medicare SHIP) if you left a message asking for someone to call you back.
If you’re suspicious about the legitimacy of a phone call or solicitor at your door, call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227).
If you’re worried that you may be the target of identity theft or are suspicious of an entity that’s soliciting in your area, you can contact the Federal Trade Commission.
