I just checked my Medicare statement that came yesterday, and there is one claim for covid tests. I picked up my 8 free monthly allotment a few weeks ago at CVS. So that is for those, I assume.
IF someone was sent tests they didn’t order through the mail and Medicare was fraudulently billed, wouldn’t there be an issue when the person tried to get their monthly allotment from their local pharmacy? Wouldn’t the request be denied, since Medicare had already paid for tests that month? Of course, many people would just accept that at face value, and might not even ever look at the expiration date.
