Medicare letter gets payments rolling
Posted on Fri, May. 09, 2008
In January, Action Line helped Margaret Gannon get a letter of denial of payment from Medicare, which she needed in order to file a claim with her travel insurance, after getting ill on a cruise. She also needed to make a claim with her secondary insurer before the travel insurance kicked in.
We helped her obtain the Medicare letter, which allowed her to get $484 from her secondary insurer of the $705 she was billed for treatment. Gannon now reports the travel insurer has paid the remainder. She is certain that she wouldn't have seen any of it without the Medicare letter.
