<p>Hard? Its impossible to wade through literally hundreds and hundreds of pages of documents that are impossible to decipher, go in a circular loop and never explain what is wanted/needed in any way that is understandable, and thats when the website is working and one is able to get on. Lots of threats of fines if providers dont file some new forms that Medicare wants, but no clear explanation of where or how to file whatever it is they want.</p>
<p>I didnt see your specific post, Blossom, and healthcare is, in the normal, ideal world, supposed to be reimbursed for medically necessary procedures. Usually thats on a living person. But in my experience there can be errors on codes, descriptions of the code as written on the EOB/HCFA, date of service, provider, you name it. Yes, its a broken system. If the claim was processed in error, you should probably call the provider (the podiatrist) to get it addressed before trying to work through the medicare system. JMO.</p>
