What explains Medicare payments and denials?
The EOB (Explanation of Benefits) is what explains Medicare's payments and denials. Sometimes it is referred to as an EOP (Explanation of Payment). This document will show all items filed on a particular claim for a particular provider. It will show which items were covered or noncovered and why, which items were denied and why, and which items were paid. It will also show the patient's responsibility as far as deductible and coinsurance goes. If the patient has a Medicare supplement or just a secondary plan and Medicare is aware who you have chosen, they will "crossover" the claim to the secondary. This means they will automatically send a notification to the secondary payor to let them know how much Medicare allowed (the total amount the provider should receive from Medicare, other insurance companies and the patient), and how much is being left to the patient/secondary.

You cannot bill Medicaid for your HMO deductibles. However, if you are medicaid eligible, you don't need a Medicare HMO - Medicaid should be paying your Medicare co-payments, deductibles, and any other covered expenses that Medicare doesn't pay.

Who pays the cost of medicare supplement insurance?
Medicare is a federal health insurance program that pays some of the health care expenses for people who are 65 or older. It will also pay for health care for people who are eligible because of a disability or qualifying health condition. You can buy Medicare supplement insurance to help pay some of your health care costs that Medicare won't pay. Because it helps cover some of the "gaps" in Medicare coverage, Medicare supplement insurance is often called Medigap insurance. There is also another option under Part C of Medicare called Medicare Advantage plans. You are required to pay the premiums for both types of insurance and there may also be deductibles, co-payments and co-insurance. These payments can range anywhere from $0 to $7,000 per year depending on the plan. However, if your income and assets are below a certain level, you might be eligible for Medicaid. Medicaid is a state-administrated federal program that pays for health coverage for people with low incomes. If you qualify for Medicaid, the state will pay your Medicare premiums and out-of-pocket costs. Medicaid will also pay for some services not covered by Medicare. In many cases, if you receive Medicaid, you do not need Medicare supplement insurance. To learn more about the costs of individual plans available in your area, I suggest you meet with a licensed health insurance agent if you have someone that you know and trust. Not all agents can enroll you in all plans so you may have to sit down with a couple different agents to learn about all the plans out there. Another alternative is to contact your local State Area Agency on Aging. They have counselors available who can help you and it does not cost anything to meet with them. You can find your nearest agency at the related link below.
