Information for Medicare Beneficiaries
Lynn Martin has “Opted Out” of Medicare, which means she is not a Medicare provider. If you have Medicare Part B insurance, you will not be not able to use it for care with Lynn Martin. Medicare requires that you and Lynn Martin sign a document stating that Medicare will not cover the costs of care with Lynn Martin. In addition, the document will state that supplemental Medicare plans will not cover the cost, and some secondary plans do not cover the cost. The purpose of this Medicare-required document is to ensure that you understand the lack of insurance coverage.
If you decide not to pursue care with Lynn Martin because you prefer to use your Medicare insurance, Lynn Martin will provide you with the contact information for a provider or facility that accepts Medicare insurance for payment.
