If I have Medicare, can I join Crescent Medical?
Yes. However, your monthly membership fee cannot be submitted to Medicare for reimbursement. No service rendered by Crescent Medical can be billed to Medicare. You must sign a waiver every two years that declares that neither you nor your doctor will directly bill Medicare for any services.
Medicare and medicare supplemental insurance will still cover medical costs that you incur outside of Crescent Medical. For example, prescriptions that you fill at an outside pharmacy, or labs run at an outside lab, or hospital charges, physical therapy and imaging are covered, just to name a few. You do not lose your Medicare coverage for other medical needs just because you are a member of Crescent Medical.
