Questions to ask before you go

  1. Are you enrolled with Medicare?

    A program must be enrolled to bill Medicare; many private programs are not.
  2. Is this hospital inpatient care or a residential program?

    Original Medicare treats them differently.
  3. Are you in my Medicare Advantage plan's network?

    And does the plan require prior authorization.
  4. Is my medication covered by my Part D plan?

    Ask about buprenorphine and naltrexone by name.
  5. What will my share be?

    Part B usually leaves you 20% coinsurance after the deductible unless you have a supplement.

If Medicare says no

  1. Check the notice.

    Original Medicare decisions come on your Medicare Summary Notice; Medicare Advantage plans send their own notice with a deadline.
  2. Ask for a redetermination.

    In Original Medicare you have 120 days from the notice. Medicare Advantage appeals follow the deadline printed on the plan's notice.
  3. Get free help.

    Your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) gives free one-on-one Medicare counseling.

Not sure where to start?

Ask each program whether it takes your Medicare plan.
