Items eligible for Medicare reimbursement are marked with this icon: . Please note: SpinLife does not provide courtesy billing for Medicaid, Medicare replacement programs or Medicare supplemental programs.
Please take the time to look through common questions you might have about Medicare billing below. If you need additional help, please call our Medicare specialists at 1-800-850-0335. How does Medicare "courtesy billing" work? We understand that the process of submitting claims to Medicare can be difficult and time consuming. To help make the process easier, SpinLife offers what is known as "courtesy billing". This means that after you purchase an eligible product from SpinLife and request at checkout that we courtesy bill Medicare, we send you all of the documentation required by Medicare for you to complete with your physician. Once medically qualifying documentation is submitted into SpinLife, we can submit a claim to Medicare on your behalf. If your claim is approved by Medicare, they will reimburse you directly for their portion of your claim via mail. Please note the following important information about Medicare courtesy billing: How much will I be reimbursed through Medicare?
Medicare assigns every product that is eligible for reimbursement what is called an "allowable amount". The allowable amount is the maximum amount that Medicare will consider as the total price of the item. The allowable amount for each item varies slightly by state. Medicare will reimburse you around 80% of the allowable amount or around 80% of the cost of the item from SpinLife, whichever is less. The other 20%, or copay, remains your responsibility. The product must be paid for in full prior to billing Medicare, and if Medicare determines you are eligible for coverage, they will reimburse you directly. Because SpinLife's prices are generally well below the Medicare allowable amount for eligible products, your 20% copay will likely be less than what it would be if you purchased from a local medical equipment supplier. This could mean significant savings on your 20% copay. Here are allowable amounts for items commonly purchased on SpinLife: Please note the following important information about Medicare reimbursement amounts:
How does the reimbursement process work? After purchasing a Medicare-eligible product and requesting that SpinLife bill Medicare on your behalf, we will work with you to complete the required documentation and submit your claim. Step 1:: We will send you the three documents listed below, which you must read and sign. You may provide your electronic signature online during the checkout process or via the Medicare email that you receive from SpinLife. You may also choose to print, sign and return these documents to SpinLife via fax or mail. Step 2: We will ask you to submit the following information to SpinLife for all claims: We will ask you to submit the following information to SpinLife depending on the product you purchased: Step 3: After all information is received, including the information required by your physician, SpinLife will file your claim with Medicare. Step 4: Medicare will process your claim. Medicare has between 45-60 days to respond to you regarding your claim and if your claim is approved, you will receive reimbursement directly from Medicare via mail.
Important Note: SpinLife cannot provide courtesy billing for customers that have an HMO Medicare Advantage Plan as their primary coverage (such as Secure Horizons HMO or Humana HMO). An Advantage HMO is a Medicare replacement HMO program whose services have been enlisted to manage your Medicare coverage and benefits. What is the reimbursement criteria for lift chairs?

When courtesy billing for the corresponding cushion, Medicare requires SpinLife to submit the manufacturer, model, serial number and the date of purchase of the wheelchair on file. The beneficiary must also either have a current pressure sore or have a previous history of a pressure sore on record due to the fact that Medicare will not cover any preventative items. Documentation of the pressure sore (staging, treatment, etc.) and positioning requirements must also be provided in the form of chart notes from your physician.
