Receiving Help with Disease Related Medical Bills
Itemized bills, related to primary health care, need to be submitted to the Part C social worker after they have been submitted to other appropriate compensation programs. The Part C EIS Program is a payer of last resort. Patients that are eligible for compensation through other programs (such as Medicare, Medicaid, Third Party Insurance and Ryan White Part B) must first access assistance through those programs. The Part C EIS program cannot provide assistance if coverage is available through other compensation programs including Medicare, Medicaid, Ryan White Part B Program or Third Party Insurance.
The Part C Program cannot pay for Medicare and Medicaid co-payments or supplement the reimbursements of covered services from Medicare, Medicaid, or Third Party Insurance. The Part C Program may be able to help with disease related charges that are not covered by other compensation programs. It is the responsibility of the client to forward primary health related bills to the Part C social worker.
