Stupidest Thing I Heard Today.

Today's encounter got me to thinking this might be an amusing thread to start .So, will start with my contribution. Went to our 1 and only local medical supply store to get more nebulizer tubes for my wife. The gal tells me they no longer can bill my wife's Medicare for it because we're out of their jurisdiction. Say what ya cretin, we live in the same town where your store is. Tubes were cheap but wonder what we'd do if my wife ever needed more expensive equipment. Gal said we'd just have to go to another town to buy stuff in order to bill insurance. Wouldn't we also be "out of jurisdiction" at that store?

Do yourself a favor and don't try to figure out insurance companies.

Sounds like she meant out of network, which your insurance carrier determines based on contracts

Jurisdiction doesn't make any sense, as you can drive to other states to have medical procedures done and your insurance will pay. Maybe you just misunderstood. It has happened to me too.
