PTIONS

___ OPTION 1. I want the D.

listed above. You may ask to be paid now, but I

also want Medicare billed for an official decision on payment, which is sent to me on a Medicare

Summary Notice (MSN). I understand that if Medicare doesn’t pay, I am responsible for

payment, but I can appeal to Medicare by following the directions on the MSN. If Medicare

does pay, you will refund any payments I made to you, less co-pays or deductibles.

☐ OPTION 2. I want the D.

listed above, but do not bill Medicare. You may

ask to be paid now as I am responsible for payment. I cannot appeal if Medicare is not billed.

☐ OPTION 3. I don’t want the D.

listed above. I understand with this choice I

am not responsible for payment, and I cannot appeal to see if Medicare would pay.
