If that's true, he could have told me that.  How else can it be explained
that one month an office visit was $45 and the following month $65?  You
are absolutely right about one thing.  Medicare does take 90 days to pay
and it makes my record-keeping difficult.  For example, a recent bill from
my doc stated I owed $75 from my last visit.  A few days later, I get mail
from Medicare stating that they paid all but $11 of that fee.
