I ask again help. What to do.
I have lived in America 23 years- marriage. My husband begged me not to work and I was a housewife all these years (my education is a rocket science) and I do not know simple things of life here. I did density in1 year because I search and found code for early density and how describe a patient for Medicare. I sent this information my doc on her portal and PA wrote me that they hoped it would go through. I told them that it needs doc to call provider line of Medicare but they did not do that, so I found by myself.
For Reclast there is no any any information how to order smaller dose of Reclast, I searched. searched, but nothing.
I wrote again my doc 5 months ago and asked her to call Medicare for small doses of Reclast. No answer from her. But she told me that for cancer patient Medicare allows to reduce dose of Reclast. This time I asked her a half of dose, no answer too.
5 months ago PA wrote me that the prescription is in Center because of my first infusion and I need to ask them to reduce dose. I do not understand one thing, doctor's occupation is merciful, what is wrong to call Medicare to help a sick person?
My question - can I asked a nurse in the Center , where I will do Reclast infusion to give me only a half of Reclast- to come in 30 minutes and finish the infusion? Can I give her 20$ as a thanks, I want to give her in the beginning or it is prohibited ?
