How does Medicare use my personal information?

September 20, 2009 by admin

Medicare uses your personal information to administer Medicare's country's largest health insurance program for the elderly, disabled, and people with end-stage renal disease. Some of the ways Medicare uses your personal information are to: · Pay your medical bills for Medicare benefits, · Make sure you get quality health care, · Set the Medicare payment rates for doctors, hospitals and other health care providers, and · Make sure that Medicare does not pay for health care providers or services that you did not get.
