Reading MSN Saves $992
An Independence, Iowa, woman called 1-800-423-2449 stating she received a Medicare Summary Notice (MSN) showing medical bills paid, and she had not been hospitalized. Upon checking the telephone book, a volunteer discovered there were two people with the same name living in the area. The volunteer then contacted the hospital’s billing department to learn, the correct patient had been treated for injuries in an automobile accident and her automobile insurance carrier was responsible for the payment of the bill. A $992.45 refund was sent to Medicare and $190.92 to the caller's supplemental insurance company.
