Under the category, do I need this aggravation?

I order medical supplies for my neck from two different providers. Since I am still working, my primary insurance is Cigna and Medicare is my secondary. These supplies are covered by Medicare Part B, but both suppliers REFUSE to submit claims to Medicare because it is my secondary insurance. They would file if primary.

I have contacted Medicare and they state there is no way for me to file the claims myself, that they must be filed electronically by provider with EOB from primary.

Has anyone found a solution to this problem? This is ridiculous. Other than these two supply houses, I am having no problem with drs, labs, etc. submitting to Medicare as secondary. Since these suppliers must be paid by credit card and then submitted to insurance, these providers have no insentive to submit to Medicare and it is me out of the money. I've called numerous times and they still insist they are not required by law to file the claims.

Anybody got any ideas how to solve this one? Just what we need. One more piece of aggravation. Isn't it fun to turn 65. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Take care,
Eileen
