Red letters mine.
I have enjoyed seeing your posts about Medigap sales.
I am not trying to create conflict with my following statement.
Just a random fact that might indicate there are rare exceptions to the generally accepted rule.
Last year I had health services that caused creation of over 60 MEOB's by Medicare.
(Maybe just 45-50 if you remove physical therapy ones.)
---I had a claim with Medicare approved services.
---It did not meet whatever the requirements are for automatic submission of the claim by Medicare to the Medigap carrier.
---The provider submitted the claim to my Medigap carrier. The carrier refused to accept the claim, even after multiple re-submissions. While this may not have technically been a denial, the non-payment effect to the provider was the same.
So, my personal experience suggests that there must be some unusual or uncommon situations in which a Medigap carrier can deny or refuse to process a claim.
4. MAPD can deny your claims (obviously). Med supps do not. Wanna roll the dice? Be my guest. I generate 20X more MAPD traffic as a marketer than I do Med Supp. I happily send it off to my partners and bank with both.
