Guest guest Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 Hi everyone. I have some questions about medi-cal and medicare. alot of talk lately about new codes and medicare coverage etc. Sorry I am sure this is of no interest to people outside the US. Does anyone know how medicare will be different from medi-cal? Medi-cal, I've noticed has been returning claims lately saying that they need proof of payment or denial from medicare. This is quite a nuisance considering how little they pay. ANyone else considering dropping it entirely? Josie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 Where do you live? I'm not familiar with Medi-cal.... Medicare is for senior citizens, and they do not reimburse for acupuncture, not does medicaid which is for people with low income and disabilities.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 Josie; You can get a form from Medicare that states they deny acupuncture. It is a form letter from one of their employees. When the patient sends this form to their secondary, they get reimbursed a lot faster. I got the form from my school, but I would suggest looking it up on their website if you are interested.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 If you can't find it, I can fax you a copy of mine. It's pretty old and hard to read but works.
