To find a doctor that accepts Medicare and Medicaid payments, you may want to visit the Centers For Medicare and Medicaid Services' Participating Physician Directory. You can search by State, County, City, Zip Code, and doctor's name. This tool will provide you with a list of physicians in the specialty and geographic area you specify, along with detailed physician profiles, maps and driving directions.
Who runs Medicare?
During your working life, you pay Medicare tax out of your paycheck. That tax pays for your Part A Medicare, which is the hospitalization portion of Medicare. Then when you enroll in Medicare, you can purchase Medicare Part B which is the medical/doctor's office portion of Medicare. When you purchase Part B, it is automatically deducted from your Social Security check each month. This amount will normally be $96.40(for 2009) unless you make more than $85,000.00 per year, then you will pay more for the monthly premium.
Does Medicaid help pay for mobility scooters?
Medicaid can help pay for an electric wheelchair. Medicare can also be used to subsidize the costs, if Medicaid doesn'tt approve a 100% coverage. Medicare Plan B, for example, can pay to rent or purchase an electric wheelchair if your mom'ss doctor writes her a prescription. It will have to be proven that you Mom will need to wheelchair to get around, both indoors and outdoors, for an honest medical practitioner to write such a prescription.
Is it true that under the ObamaCare bill your primary physician must be the doctor admitting you to the hospital in order for Medicare to pay for it?
The PPACA does NOT apply to any Medicare program or insurance coverage. Medicare is NOT part of the PPACA. Medicare is the old-age social insurance program for those 65 and up. If you mean Medicaid (the health care coverage for poor people), the PPACA does not specify such details. Medicaid is administered by the states, with certain funding and general requirements coming from the Federal government. The details of required procedures to be followed for payment are up to individual states to decide upon. So, in that context, you will have to ask your state's Medicaid program about this issue.
Can a doctor bill a medicare medical patient if they do not participate with MediCal Medicaid?
There are three categories of medical providers. Participating providers bill Medicare and accept what Medicare pays. Non Participating providers decide on a case by case basis. If they do not participate for your service, they send in a claim and the check comes to you. It is the Medicare allowed amount minus your deductible or co-insurance. Medicare allows the provider to bill you 115% of the allowed amount. The Medicare Summary Notice with the check details all of this. Private contracting providers file a form with Medicare saying that they will not accept any payment from Medicare for any service or any patient. Once they do so, they can not rejoin for two years. However, they must have the patient sign a form that the patient agrees to receive the service an pay for it without any benefit from Medicare. I will post two links that you might find helpful. Here is hoping that you do not have to call Medicare. The people are very friendly but their hands are tied. To answer the question, no. If the doctor is not a medicare provider then medicare will not reimburse the patient or the doctor.
Are Medical Alert systems covered by Medicare or Medicaid?
Medicare does not cover medical alerts and your insurance usually won't either. However under specific circumstance Medicaid will pay for it and some states have laws which will subsidize medical alerts.
If you were ever a Medicaid patient and lost it does the doctor have to honor the Medicaid allowed amounts?
A doctor or other provider who accepts you as a Medicaid patient (i.e., agreed to bill Medicaid for your care) is required to accept Medicaid's amount as payment in full. (However, you might have a co-pay.) In Illinois, a provider who accepts you as a Medicaid patient cannot demand payment from you if Medicaid does not pay due to the doctor's failure to bill Medicaid timely and properly. Your State might have a similar rule.
Will medicare cover orthopedic surgery?
Medicaid is administered by the States and coverage varies. However, in general, Medicaid covers standard medical care that has been prescribed by a physician and that is "essential" for treatment or prevention of disease or other impairment.
