Guest guest Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Hello- I have 2 questions: The first is how do centers handle this situation: Living kidney donor/ recipient Recipients' insurance states " must bill donors insurance first for payment or denial " and will not pay the donor charges Do you call the donors insurance for a denial? Do you ask that they fax you/mail you a denial? Do you tell the recipients insurance that according to Medicare, donors policy should be treated as if they have Part B? How do you get these types of claims processed? What about altruistic billing? How do you handle that? The second part of my question is in regards to indigent recipients. How is it handled when patient have a large out of pocket expense? If the patient states that they are able to afford these costs, do you assume that they are being truthful? What if their insurance states 50% 75% coverage and patient states no problem? Do you take their word? What if the rx coverage has a $3,000 calendar year limit and pt states no problem?
