I saw the interview too and I couldn't believe the words coming out of his mouth. My 90 year old mother is still living life to the fullest and only takes 4 meds on a daily basis. Her two main health issues are arthritis and restless leg syndrome -- you can have those two issues at any age!
Cha, I had labs in late August and the hospital told me that the basic "standing labs" the doctor ordered 5 years ago are no longer covered. I have to have the standing order re-written. I'm new to Medicare so I'm learning. The hosptal and (since then) a doctor have told me that if Medicare doesn't honor your claim that the secondary insurances are now automatically denying the claim. I'm debating what to do about my secondary insurance before my next open season. Both the hospital and the doctor told me this change started in August.
