| Received 2022 humana Annual Notice of Changes 2021-09-24
quite surprised that usa news declared SSA, medicare funds shorter and shorter but medicare provider can reduce patients copay such as: Maximum out-of-pocket amount from $2650 down to $2600; in network Specialist visits:$25 down to $20 (included Medicare-covered Vision and dental care) but Ambulance services from $200 jump to $220; nuclear medicine services at a freestanding radiology facility from $100 jump to $120; Once your total drug costs have reached $4,130 jump to $4430, you will move to the next stage (the Coverage Gap Stage) As for Medical vision benefits: Refractions not covered same as 2022, Routine vision benefits: Routine vision includes an eye exam with vision exam changes to Refraction is only covered when billed as part of the routine exam ps NOTE: Eye refractions will not be covered if billed separate from a routine vision exam --this is the most confused that primary doctor,eye clinic office and insurance company always told no extra charge but copay. it turned out patient is forced to pay Refraction fee. do i understand the clinic billed with Medical vision benefits or Routine vision benefits with part of the routine exam or separate from a routine vision exam? NO. if disputed with insurance company they would tell us the clinic used different code they cant help. this year is the 1st time we were told eye clinic should bill humana and eyemed(for refraction) separately. the eye clinic office is the only one appologied and corrected it. many years spouse cant but pay whatever clinic Refraction charged until cant endure and for last 5? years wont visit eye doctor at all. ps spouse fell downhe paied $600 hospital plus $200 for ambulence; vision routine examined details: ...........................VISION routine examined Provider HUMANA VISION EYEMED Date of service Jul xx, 2021 Total billed charges $138.00 Plan exclusion Help $99.00 Applied to deductible $0.00 Copay $0.00 ps already paied $25 Service code Help S0620 ..........................ambulance Description Total billed charges Amount Humana paid Your share Payment status Level 1 emergency ambulance transport-advanced life support $1,850.00 $270.02 $200.00 Paid Service date Apr xx, 2021 Service code Help A0427 Plan exclusion $1,379.98 Deductible $0.00 Copay $200.00 Message THIS AMOUNT BILLED EXCEEDS NORMAL AMOUNT OF CHARGES FOR THIS TYPE OF SERVICE.

YOU ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR EXCESS CHARGES. ps from home to hospital about 3.8 miles by googlemaps, spouse waked up before ambulence arrived ps in usa when innoncent people were beaten/hurt on the street who dont have insurance would turn down to visit hospital because you can see just ambulence cost $1,850.00 for 3.8 miles. And emergency room any service is very expensive which you cant turn down, spouse 4/19-4/23 charges $78,799.34 because it is medicare so 1st time we ended to pay $200 and $600. the good thing about medicare is patient is NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR EXCESS CHARGES. and paid A NEGOTIATED RATE which is the 1st time happened to spouse. all the years we are forced to pay whatever charged especially some services are not covered by insurance due to hospital/clinic billed code not in insurance companies listing. ................................hospital from 4/19 in, 4/23 discharged Total billed charges $78,799.34 Amount Humana paid Help $6,016.34 Your share Help $600.00 Applied to deductible $0.00 Copay $600.00 Claim details Description Total billed charges Amount Humana paid Your share Payment status $21,600.00 $6,016.34 $600.00 Paid Service date Apr xx, 2021 Service code Help NONE Deductible $0.00 Copay $600.00 Message PAID ACCORDING TO A NEGOTIATED RATE WITH THE PROVIDERS NETWORK.
