Something’s not right

A problem between my doctor surgery and Medicare. Still have not been paid.

A problem between my doctor surgery and Medicare. Still have not been paid.

I had a doctor's appt on the 21st August. I paid $140.00 for the appt. The surgery stuffed up with my rebate and Medicare rejected it. My hands are tied. Medicare tells me they need to re submit the claim and correct the error do they can repay me. The surgery sent me a PDF showing me that they have written to Medicare asking for adjustments to be made. Medicare is telling me they do not make adjustments, they need to re submit a claim and put the reasons why. I'm telling the surgery that and they keep telling me they have sent in the PDF Medicare says they have not received anything. I am getting the run around. I'm do damn stressed now and no one is listening to me. I suffered financially as a result. I JUST WANT IT RESOLVED. I'm at my wit's end and just feel like breaking down when I think about it.

Nobody is helping me. What the heck do I do to fix this. I just want my rebate. I'm never going to that surgery again.

It's taken me a while to get to this point. I contacted Hadsco on Thursday last week. I had to talk in length about both circumstances that occurred. So, I need to fill in two forms for both seperate incidents.

The first one will be still not receiving my Medicare rebate. The second one will be about the doctor.

The one about the doctor will be referred to APHRA.

They will decide if the doctor in question has been inappropriate in his conduct and if so what action will be taken. I can't do the doctor yet, Ok have to wait another week according to HADSCO as they have a right to respond to my initial email.

I feel stressed that I'm going to be rejected, ignored and be told it's not a big enough deal to be investigated. It's happened to me before. I really don't appreciate life very much at all. I'm tired of life.

Tired if fighting for anything.

@Snowie thank you. I got sleep, on and off as it is every other night. Slept alone which was hard. Not any better today. Just a complete mess actually.

@Snowie thanks. The paperwork and documentation is now in for the first complaint. It's in their hands. I'm letting go.
