If you have original medicate you’ll get fewer denials than medicare assigned to an HMO (advantage plans). Ok you have a secondary insurance they should cover most balances BUT get everything pre approved.

I have appealed Medicare's decision on blood work coverage but have not received a ruling. I have recurring prostate cancer with surgical removal back in 2011. Seems they would allow for additional blood work for a PCa guy.

I'm not sure how to get pre-implant tests approved through Medicare. Will be calling Dr. Kramer's office to see if they order EKG and other required testing using codes acceptable by Medicare. I'm one of these people who must be reassured everything will be covered.

Used my yearly physical for blood work for implant zero cost, and BCBS along with Medicare paid everything with Dr. Kramer. Have never seen a bill.

I have A and B with AARP suppl. I've asked on big things to get preapproval but now I'm satisfied that for nearly everything I;m covered. AARP plan N covers everything approved by Medicare and pays the 20% etc. I have a $20 copay for each visit but can see anyone without a referral. Very nice well worth the extra $$$$.
My wife has the "free" suppl and she does have to get approval. But hers covers meds mine does not.

Free for me.
