Why does blue cross allowed amount for cpaps not cover the cost of the cpap?
Blue Cross Blue Shield has many different plans. These plans each have different benefits. What is covered under one BCBS plan may/may not be covered under another. It all depends on how the plan was built by whomever your insurance is provided through. Many BCBS plans do cover the cost of a CPAP machine based on medical necessity. I would contact your BCBS plan using the member benefits number found on the card and ask them if the cost of a CPAP machine is covered under "YOUR" benefits.

Does federal BlueCrossBlueShield cover cataract surgery?
Each insurance plan is different. And there are many, many plans within BCBS. If you are covered by your employer with BCBS, the benefits and exclusions are decided upon by your provider. Before you make any decisions about your healthcare, you need to go straight to the horse's mouth. If you are already covered by BCBS, call the Member Services line on the back of your card. They can tell you if a certain diagnosis is covered or not. You should have received a benefits booklet at the time you signed up for the health insurance that also explains all the covered benefits and those that are excluded. If you are just shopping for individual insurance, BCBS will determine if you are eligible for any particular procedure, or if you have already had several large claims for a certain illness, they may add a "rider" to your policy that says they won't pay for that particular diagnosis for a certain length of time, if ever. Group health insurance that is employer-provided is usually the most comprehensive.

What is paid by BCBS if they are secondary and Medicare B is primary?
It depends upon the specific benefits of your BCBS policy, however they (BCBS) would process on the remainder of the balance due up to Medicare's allowed charges unless your deductible was not satisfied with your BCBS policy. In that case the entire amount allowed by Medicare would be considered for the BCBS deductible.
If the patient has BCBS as primary and Medicaid as secondary can you legally not accept the Medicaid and then bill the patient?
