Medicare changing approved expenses

Medicare is changing what expenses they deem to be "Medicare approved".  I have been getting frequent calls about Medicare denying charges for services normally approved
and paid by Medicare.  What is interesting is that there have not been any publications or changes to medicare.gov that indicate a policy change has been made on covered expenses.

The way to correct this is to file an appeal with Medicare.  They can take up to 90 days to process the appeal. 

If you have a question about bills you are getting and you don't understand why things are not getting paid, you can contact Alta Vista Benefits for help at 614-889-0934.
