Hi all;

Ok here's the scoop. I just called soc. security to resign from Medicare

A which pays for " all your hospitalization " is " free " . " You cannot

refuse Medicare part A " . I have to have torture insurance. I can't get

off it.

Part B pays for outpatient and doctors and suchlike.

What do you mean hospitalization is free? Maybe psych

hospitalization, but not medical, here. Medicare pays 80% only.

Hi na,

A TAR will be needed for the hospital charges since Medi-Cal will be the only payer for hospital charges. (Remember that this auth, once

received is valid for six months and you will need to request and extension).

M is “uninsured beneficiary”, could mean spouse or dependent?

Hope that helps.

Subject: Medicare

I have a patient that has Medicare part B and D only and Medi-Cal. Her Medicare ID number ends with an M. I'm assuming she is eligible

under a spouses benefit??? Is Medicare still considered primary, and if so, will Medi-Cal pay all part A charges??? This is the first time I have ever seen this, and all input would be very

appreciated.
