Insurance Information "Will my insurance cover the rental cost?" This question can best be answered by the patient's insurance company, but our experience has shown that rental fees are often covered by private insurance companies, at least partially, provided that a pre-certification or prior authorization is obtained. Prior authorization can take a few days, and occasionally requires review by the medical director. It is not always possible to obtain prior authorization before the equipment is needed, but we can ship equipment with guarantee of payment by credit card, or prepayment, and continue the authorization process. The patient's insurance company can still be billed if the authorization or pre-certification is completed prior to the conclusion of the rental. McFee Technologies has been informed by Medicare that the post-operative Vitrectomy support equipment, which we provide is "Not Reasonable and Necessary" and will not be covered. Medicare will deny all payments for this equipment. "Will McFee Technologies bill my insurance company?" We are happy to bill the patient's insurance company for the rental costs when we have a prior authorization or pre-certification on file. Our staff is able to assist with obtaining the preauthorization. In all cases, in order to obtain preauthorization we must have the following information: • Patient's full name and date of birth • Insured's full name, insurance company, I.D. number and group number, and date of birth • The date of surgery and estimated duration of equipment need • Specific equipment, i.e. the name of the package from the McFee Technologies price list/brochure • PCP referral if insurance is through an HMO • Letter of medical necessity from the ordering physician DISCLAIMER
