Medicare Denies more claims

[aplusmnt]

Interesting that a study shows that Medicare denies almost twice as many medical claims as all insurance companies added up. The current Government health care is more likely to deny you than private coverage, why would we want to expand this type of coverage to the rest of America?

they are not the only one... I have been getting annual blood tests now for several years and recently Tricare denied the payment for the tests..

after resubmittal of the claim, rebutting the original denial, most of the test were again denied for a differant reason.

now I can either drive two and a half hours to the VA hospital for the blood tests or pay for them myself..

add that to several medications moved off the lower price tier to the higher deductible, and it adds up quickly..
