Have extremely ill person in ICU, with repetitive hospitalizations, unfortunately due in part to medical staff negligence in administering all proper medications and treatments (which by the way I can prove). Being there a probability that either MEDICARE and other insurance are giving hospital problems concerning more payments_ and if it's same insurance this person had two years ago, then that is definitely the fact_how can we find out if this is the case. Hospital staff is giving us runaround, and I myself brought up some of it in conversation w/ primary care doctor last week when I asked if one particular (and probably expensive) treatment would be benefiting patient at home and if MEDICARE would refuse to pay for it.

It takes Medicare and insurance months to pay for hospital charges or to deny payment. You need to be contacting the hospital billing office as the doctors will no nothing about what medicare or insurance does or does not pay for. The billing department will be able to tell you if Medicare or insurance has even been billed yet and if they have heard anything from them. Also, private insurance will not make any decisions until Medicare has paid all they will pay. My mom was in the hospital for a month last November and we are still getting notices that Medicare has just paid or denied a charge.
