I had a tubal ligation with Medicare as primary and Blue Cross Blue Shield secondary in 2008 thru Allina clinic in MN. I am very mad that it ended up costing me $1500 out of my pocket which to me makes no sense! Medicare paid $3000 and Blue Cross paid less than $100.
No. There is a federal law that requires Medicare is a secondary payer. You can find more information on the CMS website under "Medicare Secondary Payer and You."
The types of services that Regence Blue Cross provides include medical and dental coverage for individuals and families. Medicare and medicare supplement plans and online assistance.
Any medical procedure connected to a Medicare plan will need to be proven medically necessary by the doctor. You doctor will know whether or not you can use your Medicare Supplement to pay for the surgery.
If you have a medicare advantage plan (HMO, POS, etc.), you can disenroll during the Medicare Advantage Disenrollment Period (MADP) which occurs Jan. 1--February 14, 2011. You may need to enroll in a prescription drug plan.
That would be an awful lot of money. I would look into tricare for life and medicare and compare the costs to blue cross blue shield. With any of the three you are going to have some deductible but that deductible will be far less than the premiums for all three. The government is tampering with Tricare and medicare right now to try and find ways to save money but Blue cross and blue shield will be raising your rate soon also.
NO, not unless those services are a direct exclusion of your BCBS policy.
