KarlS Posted January 27, 2010 #1 Posted January 27, 2010 Well Medicare says they MUST give me my money back for the non-working back brace. Says it's in the contract to get paid by medicare they have to take back any and all equipment that is unable to be used as designed. Stayed very calm and polite every time I talked with the brace company, the surgeons office (who they blamed) and Hospital (who they blamed) and Medicare. Since the billing had not went through medicare yet they will also loose the balance of the $1290.00 medicare would of paid them. Medicare told me to take the brace back tomorrow and get a returned item receipt with payment. If they will not do this I'm to call medicare back from there and they will tell them again and will stop all payment to them for ALL medicare claims until they do. Does not pay to mess with Venture riders. Feel a whole lot better. $389.60 for the bike.
mini-muffin Posted January 27, 2010 #2 Posted January 27, 2010 Glad to hear it's working out for you. Last time I had surgery the anesthesiologist tried to double bill me we let our insurance handle them. Never heard from them again. Hope you can heal up fast now with this pretty much taken care of.

Dano Posted January 28, 2010 #4 Posted January 28, 2010 I'm thinkin' the calmness had more to do with the little white pills............. I'm just sayin..
