Medicare may cover the cost of your medical supplies.

CCS Medical will help you get the most out of your benefits.

If you have Medicare and secondary insurance you may qualify to receive your supplies at little or no cost* to you. Medicare pays 80% and most secondary insurance pays the remaining 20%. You pay only your deductible if any apply.

CCS Medical has been a Medicare Participating Provider for over 12 years.

Not all providers are “participating” providers. Why is this important? Participating Providers are health care providers that have entered into a contract with the Medicare Part B program. This means we have agreed to accept assignment for all items and services furnished to Medicare beneficiaries. Accepting assignment means accepting Medicare's approved amount as payment in full, except for any deductible or coinsurance. Medicare Part B will usually pay 80% of the approved amount. The remaining 20%, called coinsurance, is your responsibility. Most Medicare supplement insurance plans will help pay the 20%.

You may have to pay more for your supplies if you use a supplier or pharmacy that isn't enrolled as a Participating Provider in Medicare.
