3 things you can do if you’re wrongfully billed for Medicare costs
Good Morning,
I thought this blog posted by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on wrongful billing of QMB beneficiaries would be of interest to you.
Have a good day,
Leslie

Subject: 3 things you can do if you’re wrongfully billed for Medicare costs
Today, we released a consumer advisory to give older consumers tips for responding to a wrongful bill if they are enrolled in the Qualified Medicare Beneficiary Program (QMB). The QMB Program prohibits doctors, suppliers and other
providers from billing QMB enrollees for Medicare costs when they receive covered services. Yet older consumers and people with disabilities have submitted complaints to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau reporting that debt collectors repeatedly attempted
to collect these types of bills, or sent this information to credit reporting companies.
The CFPB’s Office for Older Americans and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) have
three tips to help older consumers deal with these wrongful bills.
We’re working to empower older consumers with tools to make wise financial choices and stay on track with their finances
Thank you,

Hello All,
Some of you might be interested in this article on CMS letters sent to 21 MA plans warning them to fix their provider directories. A list of the MA plans that received the warning letter is at the bottom of the article.
Best,
