Medicare as Secondary

(1/2) > >>

Darlene:
We have a patient who has BCBS as Primary Insurance as a HSA plan. When billed it allowed say $106.00 and put to patient responsibility. Then Medicare is secondary insurance and it was billed as secondary and it allowed $65.57 to deductible and put to patient responsibility. My question is: What is actually the amount we are to bill the patient?

I appreciate any assistance with this!

Thank you, Darlene

PMRNC:
The BCBS plan is an HSA? That's odd... you said they "allowed" $106? So why was their no payment?

 

Darlene:
It is a HSA plan so it all goes to patient deductible and then the patient is to pay with their HSA account.

Darlene

Michele:
With Medicare as the secondary you cannot bill the patient more than the amount Medicare says is patient responsibility.  The Medicare EOB will show that amount.

Darlene:
Ok, thank you for assisting me with this question.
