Prior to going on Medicare, my out-of-pocket responsibility for supplies was about 15-20% or so. I had no problem with that at all.
I received some new supplies about a month ago. In the past, my DME sent a payment invoice request within a week or two at most, after having shipped the supplies. It's now been at least or very close to a full month, and no invoice.
Also last Fall, the DME was still attempting to charge me the $9.09 monthly lease payment, even though 13 months had gone by. I called the parent company in Kentucky and spoke to a gal. I explained my concern to her and she agreed that I no longer was responsible for that payment. She said it was a "billing error". She assured me that she would take care of it.
Anyways, it looks as if my contribution for supplies will now be zero. At least that's what I'm hoping it is.
