Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plans

Medicare Supplements supplement the Medicare coverage you already have– Medicare remains your primary; your Supplement is your secondary

With Medicare Supplement plans, you can go to any doctor, any medical facility in the country as long as the doctor/medical facility accepts Medicare and the service is Medicare approved (similar to what you currently have)

Plans are all federally regulated– Plans come with a range of coverage—Plans A through N

• Plan F has highest level of coverage Covers your deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses left over by Medicare

– Plans from company to company are the same—only difference is price• Prices vary by company, age, and service area

Current group supplement is similar to Medigap Plan F—except for Part B deductible

In the open market, there are options known as Medicare Supplements.

PROBLEM SOLUTIONSROOT CAUSE

Medicare Advocacy Examples

Receiving unexpected bills from rheumatologist

Provider miscoded diagnosis and CPT code; as a result, charges were not eligible for Medicare reimbursement

Medicare denied a claim, indicating Medicare was not the primary payer

Retiree did have additional coverage; however, Medicare was primary

Medicare denied claim as not medically necessary

Advocate worked with provider to correct and refile bill with Medicare

After bill was reprocessed, advocate communicated accurate liability to retiree

Advocate facilitated refiling claim with Medicare, then forwarded EOBs to health plan for secondary payment

Advocate collected medical records and forwarded them to Medicare

Once approved, advocate made arrangements for home delivery of wheelchair

Medicare denied a retiree’s request for a wheelchair

Erroneous CPT code

Incorrect Medicare
