dalesutaria asked:


I’m a newbie to Medicare and how exactly it works. Are only medical providers like hospitals or medical suppliers reimbursed, or are patients ever directly reimbursed by Medicare if they provide an itemized receipt for medical supplies that are covered?

Can anyone recommend a guide/website/book to learn more about this?

How do I get my product approved by Medicare/Medicade?

I see this often where someone buys an item at a medical supply company and is told it will be covered by insurance. Later, they receive a bill because it was not covered after all. Is it the patient’s responsibility to verify coverage with the insurance company prior to purchase or the responsibility of the seller not to falsely represent coverage in the first place?

Is there a website where I can purchase medical supplies that Medicare will pay for?

When I referred to medical supplies I mean stuff like gloves, bandages, catheters, & other things similar to that. Not only do I have Medicare but I also have Medicaid & Healthsprings. Since I am not able to have a job these items that are a necessity to my everyday life can get very expensive. Please help me find something that might help me out.
