OK! So I finally get through to the Medicare number in NJ for other billing ( if you ever need to go there) and am informed that one can only file one paper claim in one's life time for one incident. I currently have 7 claims from two companies. I am told I have to file a Medicare complaint on both these companies so they 'may be re-educated'. If I do that, I fear they will stop accepting my orders and they are they only ones with the supplies I need.

This is silly. How can I be covered with three insurance companys and not get be able to get rest of bill reimbursed because I cannot submit directly to Medicare. The one supplier doesn't even bill primary insurance unless Medicare so wouldn't even have EOB to submit. This Medicare system needs to allow individuals to file paper claims when suppliers can't or won't.
