Medicare.gov Avis 2

I telephoned Medicare to ask about reimbursement should I engage a provider who is out of network. I was told that the government could reject an out-of-network claim out of hand and that if I wanted reimbursement I needed to find an in-network provider. In other words, the government threatened me with non-coverage unless I used a federally underwritten provider. The word "fascism" is used inappropriately far and wide at present. What "fascism" means is a wholly symbiotic relationship between government and private industry. That would be this.

I spoke to Beverly Hurd, Medicare Representative for Florida.
She answered my questions professionally and knowledgeable. She was very pleasant and helpful. I was havin a hard day running into walls but when I got to Beverly, they came falling down and the rest of the day went smoothly because of her knowledgeable answers. Thank you Beverly. I appreciate you,
