Can you collect Medicare coinsurance in advance?
Medicare is an "80/20" plan. Medicare pays 80% of the bill and you are expected to pay 20%, unless you have a Medicare Supplement to pay the 20% for you. The 20% is your coinsurance. The coinsurance should be collected at time of service or billed to you after the service has been provided. If a provider is asking you to pay any money in advance prior to providing you a service, it may be time to seek a "second opinion."
