medicare and mental health billing?

Answer 1

mental health billing can be tricky. What is medicare not paying? Ask your hospital's medicare biller to rebill following all of medicare's instructions.

Answer 2

Medicare questions can be confusing! Chances are you will want to talk to folks who work with these kinds of questions everyday.

Please consider calling your local Area Agency on Aging--these groups are one of the best kept secrets around for older Americans and their families who are seeking information on these kinds of questions. There is one where you live--since this is a national network--and they aren't selling anything! The staff there will visit with you or guide you to information you need to answer this question about Medicare and others you might have. And if they don't have they answer, they will know who does!

You can call toll-free 1-800-677-1116 to find how to contact the one serving you. You will most likely find the people there friendly and very helpful.

If you do contact your local Area Agency on Aging and like the help that they give you, let your local county officials and your folks in Congress know. Area Agencies on Aging don't have big budgets for advertising and certainly don't have budgets that support campaign contributions!

Hope this helps! Good luck and best wishes!
