Her insurance co most likely will not pay for it because Medicaid will. Sometimes, if a person has 2 policies, Medicaid a secondary, you bill Medicaid, get paid a portion then bill the secondary for the remainder, or some companies want to see if Medicaid will pay for it, so you do what is called billing for denial.
All extra work for the billing dept of the clinic or MD. No overhead at all keeping 2 or 3 billers busy in a hopping office, never mind the AR issue of payments getting to you anywhere from 30-90 days later.
Wonder what the cash price is for the procedures. Bet the son or daughter could get them both done for about 1500 bucks or less. How much is me ma's live worth anyway.
