Gentlemen, I have Medicare kicking in beginning in February. I have supplemental secondary insurance as well. Do any of you have experience with getting current Medicare plans to cover an implant? I've signed up for a Blue Cross Blue Shield Medicare plan. Any guidance would be sincerely appreciated before I start the process, which I am sure is challenging.
I have Medicare and a supplement and never heard a peep from any problem getting approved for my implant.
I don't know about Medicare Advantage programs since I think they supersede regular Medicare.
Thanks Tomas, that is encouraging.
Steve, have you decided on a Phoenix doc?
Not yet. Haven't discovered whether or not they are high volume enough, to make me feel comfortable. Denver would be doable as well. Locally, I don't like the guy claiming to be a specialist.
I have Medicare as primary and government BCBS as secondary and they paid every cent other than the initial video consultation.
Does Dr Eid take Medicare?
Yes, Medicare is my primary insurance.
