This is the first year that I actually used Medicare/Plan G service.
I had a Wellness check by my primary doctor with blood test in his office, but I do not see my Medicare.gov account for his claim.
I then had colonoscopy with my gastroenterologist. I see the claims for his initial consultation, surgical center, his colonoscopy procedure, pathologist, and the LAB.
The amounts in Medicare claim report, under 'You may be billed' are totaling more than the deductible amount, $233.
I wonder how each party know what my remaining deductible is, and how they each reconcile their portion of the charge. Do they all first bill Medicare, then bill the Plan G provider, then send me a bill for remaining deductible? If I get a bill but I had already paid all my deductible, do I then tell them to go back and reconcile with Medicare and/or Plan G provider?
