What is the difference between a medicare participating provider and nonparticipating?
Like most things involving the government, it's kind of complicated, but basically: A participating provider has agreed to submit all claims to the Medicare program. A non-participating provider may choose to submit, or not to submit, claims to Medicare on a case-by-case basis. The biggest practical difference to a patient covered by Medicare is that if they go to a participating provider they will probably only be asked to cover the Medicare co-payment at the time of service. If they go to a non-participating provider, they may be asked to make payment in full at the time of service.

Does Medicare cover hospital costs in an auto accident?
Yes, If there is no other insurance company or policy liable. For example if there is another policy liable, Medicare will share in the cost after the auto policy has paid its responsibility. We have seen cases where Medicare has paid claims and ultimately requested reimbursement from the individual because they later found another auto policy that covered the accident.
