Denied treatment by Medicare anyone?

Posted by nannybb @nannybb, Jun 12 10:51am

Has anyone received a letter from Medicare post-procedure, stating they not only refuse continued nerve block, (my second before ablation procedure was to be done) but now expect me to pay out of pocket for the second nerve block. I pay over $500 for supplimental insurance as well as Medicare. I have done so for 10 years. I've never had this happen before. Has anyone else been denied by Medicare for pain management from NETs surgery? Thank you.

@sshachte My doctor said it was their fault and she is taking care of it. I'm sure tgere are probably some unnecessary procedure performed, but trying to discount a person's pain and refuse treatment is not one of them. Let me know how your appt. goes. 💕

Everything was as usual. No one asked me for money. They always pre certify where needed. My head and face sore from the shots, but I know from experience I should feel better in a couple days.
