Can I pay for a service myself, even if Medicare covers it?

September 20, 2009 by admin

You can always choose to pay out-of-pocket for services that Medicare covers. If you want to pay for the service yourself, ask your doctor not to bill Medicare or any other insurance. You can always choose to get services not covered under Medicare and pay for these services yourself. In this case, you do not have to sign a private contract, and your doctor does not have to stop giving services through Medicare.
