Q&A with Lisa Reynolds
Why did I receive a Medicare Summary Notice, and what should I do with it?
Answer: This is Medicare's version of a Explanation of Benefits (EOB.) It lists healthcare services and supplies billed to Medicare, showing the amount billed, what Medicare paid and your maximum out-of-pocket costs. I alway recommend that you keep these in a file and match them up with your Medicare Supplement EOB's by date of service. And watch for charges that do not correspond to care that you actually received. If you suspect fraud, call the doctor or healthcare provider to verify if it is indeed correct, or an honest mistake, such as incorrect billing information or clerical errors. To report fraud, call 1-800-MEDICARE.
