What if I needed to be transported to another city for heart surgery? Doesn’t Medicare pay?
MeMedicare’s view is that we have heart surgeons available at our local hospitals. Medicare pays for transport to the closest facility with cardiologists or heart surgeons available, thus many times not paying for the transport to the actual destination or only paying partial mileage. Subscribers will be transported with no out of pocket expense to hospitals within our 150 mile radius (which includes Little Rock, Shreveport and, in some cases, Dallas) If transported to Dallas, we would honor the 150 miles and bill the difference that wasn’t paid with a 40 % discount.
