We received an EOB (Explanation of Benefit) from our Medicare secondary insurance that looked sketchy. So i checked Medicare online (don’t get paper copies) and there were $3800 total carges for catheter supplies for 2 dates in May and June, none of which had been ordered nor received. Between the 2 insurers all but $139 was covered by them & that was a write off. I called Medicare & secondary insurance & reported it, Royce Medical Supply, LLC in Florida. Looking online I see that there were other reviews/reports of fraud by this company with the same number$ and types of supplies.
I don’t closely review our Medicare EOBs, but do review the secondary insurance ones as they tell me what, if anything, we would owe on a healthcare bill.
I also discovered 4 instances where Medicare had been billed & paid for home Covid-19 tests, $94 each. One was last August & the other 3 were earlier this year. One may or may not be legitimate, but I alerted Medicare to those also.
My brother recently had 3 fraud Covid-19 test Medicare charges also.
I asked the Medicare person if I should get a new Medicare #, and he said no not necessary. I think I will check our EOBs more closely.
