Thanks Darcy,
The supplier is submitting to my primary and has the EOB. Primary is paying 70 percent. It is the rest of the bill I am trying to get reimbursed for. Medicare has told me the supplier is required to submit to secondary and I have told them that. They say their contract PROHIBITs them from submitting to secondary.

These are the only suppliers that make the equipment I need, although Cigna now thinks I can walk into a med supply house and buy this RX prosthesis for a quarter of what it costs but that's a different battle.

I will try contacting Medicare on the local number on the link you provided. Last time I was on phone for an hour with them telling me that the supplier has to submit it but they did nothing to make that happen. About the time I was getting transferred to a supervisor, I got disconnected. I work, I don't have time for one hour conversations with Medicare.

Thanks again for your help.

Anybody else have any ideas how to get forms to file to Medicare on your own? Also how do you get address of where to file? Medicare card only has address as Baltimore, MD not even street address. Can't find anything on web site. Will let you know what I find out when I call local number.

Take care,
Eileen
