Retiree battles hospital billing over Medicare gap
Avon resident Richard Dudziak, 67, faced unexpected bills from Elyria Anesthesia Services Inc during a two week stay at Elyria Memorial Hospital. He learned the group does not accept Medicare assignment, creating a gap between Medicare's approved fee of 329.40 and the billed 468.40. The issue highlights how fixed Medicare payments under changes from the mid 1980s can shift costs to seniors who must cover the difference himself.
