Recently a packet of information has been randomly mailed out to persons covered by Medicare. The cover letter states that your Doctor (it does offer a suggested name - that one might think is in your physician group) has ordered a connection for "telemedicine " visits and includes a box making a decision on your behalf that you understand you are liable for charges in case of Medicare or your insurance does not cover. It highlights where you are to sign, includes an additional page for HIPAA privacy notice and a prepaid addressed envelope. The letterhead says it comes from Henderson, NV and the envelope gets returned to a Boca Raton, FL address. This form is fraudulent and would make you responsible for the invalid charges if you complete the form. Please question any papers you are asked to sign regarding insurance, and verify any forms sent to you with your physician or call your local Social Security or SHINE OR SHIP office. There is a federal SMP (Senior Medicare Patrol) who investigates such problems.
The Parkinson Association of SWFL is still here for you. While these times may feel unpredictable, our commitment to helping our community live well with Parkinson Disease remains certain. Although staying safe and healthy at home can feel isolating and challenging, please know that our staff and volunteers are here for you. Our office remains open for information, crisis counseling and personal connections via phone. We've added even more opportunities for you to live well with PD through our new virtual classes.
