Speaking of Seniors – Medicare Error Almost Costs Senior $1,100
A senior citizen client asked for help on a hospital bill. The man is from Hobart, Indiana. I helped him.
The bill balance was $1,103.66. The client has a good Medicare supplement insurance policy with Bankers Fidelity Life Insurance Company. That is a good insurance company.
I checked with the insurance company. Medicare never delivered the claim information to the client’s insurance company. The hospital wanted its money, of course.
To help our client, I wrote a letter to the hospital that explained that Medicare failed to send the claim information to the client’s insurance company. Then, I asked the hospital to send the essential information directly to the insurance company to correct the billing problem that Medicare had created.
When the hospital does what I asked, the insurance company will have the information that it needs to legally process the claim. This should eliminate the $1,103.66 bill problem that the client had.
This medical bill problem solving assistance is free to clients of this insurance agency. The owners, managers, and staff of this insurance agency really do care about our senior citizen clients. This commitment to service is one of the reasons that this insurance agency has become the largest senior citizen oriented insurance agency in the Midwest.
Here is something to consider. If Obama and his allies in Congress impose a national health care system that is modeled on the Medicare system, then everyone in America will start to have the type of medical bill problems that this client experienced.
