Verified ReviewerResolved: Medicare billing practices
I appealed the $140 and I won the appeal and I only have to pay my urgent Care copay of $35. I'm very happy with the decision.
warning! warning!
all people on medicare!
if you go to the urgent care clinic and it's attached to a hospital you will be charged the emergency room copay even if you're in an urgent care clinic.
as long as it's attached to the hospital, you will be charged the emergency room copay.
warning! warning!
- It has been good for the most part
- Charging people and outrageous fee that they do not expect and surely did not use because it was only urgent care not emergency room it should be against the law
Preferred solution: If this is going to continue to be a thing, a letter needs to go out to every single human being on Medicare and let them know that this is a thing. Otherwise stop it. And I want my $25 back. Cuz I'm not paying any part of that $140.
User's recommendation: Never go to a hospital urgent care

Verified ReviewerYearly medicare exam not complete
At my yearly Medicare physical, the doctor said Medicare won't pay for urinalysis. So why did I have to find out there was blood in my urine from my CDL examiner?
Because Medicare is cutting corners and putting women at risk!
Shame on you, yet you pay for crazy liberal things. Now I'll be going through a lot of female testing to find cancer, no thanks to you.

I have the most awesome representative that is compassionate, patient, professional and sweet young lady! Her Name is Monica she is the Humana representative.
I have the most kindest, patient professional representative. Her id # is 195****.
She is my Humana Representative. I am so happy with Humana and the plan Ms Monica helped me with.
People love to complain but never take the time to compliment. Well i cant say enough about the compassion she shows. Im a very difficult person at times and she is always there with a sweet response.
I hope you can recognize her commitment to provide the best care for elderly people like myself. Thank you for having people like monica represent you.
She is amazing! If you ever need someone to speak about how wonderful Humana is i am a phone call away!

Verified ReviewerGetting screwed because I'm retirement
Like many other people in the United States I would like to try the glp one because for the first time in my life I have gained about 30 pounds after never having to diet never having these issues I have gained over the last two years 30 lbs that I cannot get rid of I'm in my 60s so okay you can expect that. So I learned that they have these magical medicines that work especially the newer ones all excited I went to the doctor and got my prescription and found out that anybody on Medicare cannot take this medicine unless they pay out of pocket Medicare won't improve it they don't approve of that medicine even though because of this weight I find it hard to breathe my blood pressure fluctuates my sugar fluctuates I have nowhere near as active so then I gain more weight the stomach that I've gotten makes it very difficult for me to breathe when I'm even trying to walk around because I'm not used to that kind of weight it could be simple they could allow me to get it like all the other insurance companies do but cuz I'm retired once again I'm getting screwed not right it's not right Medicare and you know it. IN CASE YOU'RE UNAWARE IF SOMEONE'S ON MEDICARE BECAUSE THEY'RE RETIRED OR MAYBE EVEN DISABLED THEY PROBABLY CAN'T AFFORD $1,000 OUT OF POCKET JUST FOR A MONTH'S WORTH OF MEDICINE BECAUSE THEY DON'T THEY ALSO DON'T ALLOW US TO MAKE WHAT WE WANT EVEN THOUGH I WORK ON THE STRAP THAT CAN ONLY MAKE $100 A MONTH BECAUSE I GET THE MONEY THAT I WORKED FOR MY WHOLE LIFE MY RETIREMENT SO NOW THEY'RE GOING TO TELL ME HOW MUCH I CAN MAKE WORKING AND THEY WON'T LET ME TAKE MEDICINE THAT EVERYBODY ELSE IN THE WORLD CAN TAKE NICE RIGHT

Verified ReviewerMedications refused & I’m stuck feeling crummy
I'm new to Medicare. I have never been so exasperated, angry and frustrated with the ridiculous coverage for vital medications.
I can't get prescriptions without paying hundreds or thousands for them! What am I supposed to do? I guess my RA and endocrinology meds are optional to Medicare! The worst part is they have us in a no-win situation.
Shame on the United States government for allowing such disrespect for seniors on fixed incomes! You're despicable!

Verified ReviewerLifetime penalty for no rx plan, ow 50$ a mo.
I've always been into healthy living but have a learning disability. When I was forced to retire early, with my son terminally ill, I wasn't told I had to have a prescription plan.
Medicare said I was sent a form to sign up or be fined. I don't remember that, or I would have complied. But no one told me I had to have that plan. The coercive authorities at Medicare now fine me $50 a month.
If you are an American, have never been in trouble, paid taxes, etc., you are this government's number one enemy and must be punished. No surprise, they have to find some way to pay for criminal surgeries, illegal benefits, lobbying hush money, and feathering their nests!
I hope you all burn in *** you socialist individuals at your precious Medicare, even the name is hypocritical. Hypocritical, since you don't!

It’s not just people on Medicare. Because of the drug being expensive, they require your doctor to fill out an authorization form listing your chronic conditions and treatments you have tried that failed. No insurance, commercial or Medicare will cover the drug solely for weight loss.
