Medical Billing Dept. vs Medicare vs Patient

I called Medicare. Medicare told me their lack of payment was the fault of an MBD error; that it falls under “provider education”; that I was not responsible for this bill; and that the MBD needs to contact Medicare to discuss.

Go from there. MBD can figure it out.

@kjofkw

How does anyone with a severe medical condition, and multiple bills deal with all this?

By ignoring most of the thousand bills you get that don’t really need to be paid. After a while it’s almost an art.
