Now, I get bills almost every day for differing amounts from their surgery center, their eye center and they are threatening to send me to a collection agency. Anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks, Karen

Scam is a pretty harsh word. There are specific things that Medicare will and will not pay for. If your BCBS is a supplement and Medicare doesn't pay, then BCBS doesn't either.

Ocala Eye has always provided me with the best deals possible according to all the guidelines required and I have been extremely satisfied with them, both in their level of care and their business practices.
