Bruce’s charge denied by Medicare

For a breast prosthesis implant. Excuse me billing department, but it was a knee replacement! Then right under it they have replacement of knee joint, both sides. Can’t make this stuff up. This should result in some interesting conversations with the hospital. I found this on page 14 of a 28 page medicare summary.

Fighting something like this is always a pain.

However, I have found Medicare really good with billing. The hostile doctors sometimes make coding errors.

The good thing is that it's so transparently incorrect it shouldn't be too hard to get it corrected. I hate carelessness and incompetence. Even if you can get things fixed, what a waste of time!

Is there something about Bruce you aren't telling us.
From my last few doctor visits there has been an assistant typing in all of the information while the doctor is talking.
As difficult as it is to to read this stuff, it is always a good idea to verify the information.

I used to work in IT. The old adage still applies today; “Garage in, Garage out.”

PS. Betty this could only happen to you 😃

That’s what happens when you try to type after driving 6 hours through the mountains of Montana.
