Hi falls,
I wish I had a good answer for your question. I think Medicare coverage rules may vary by state to some degree, even though it's a federal program. It may also depend on whether you are in a medicare managed care program or have traditional medicare. I'll see what I can find out here and let you know.I do know that the reimbursement is quite low (golly for some reason about $45 is what I remember), and you are right, I think that practitioners are not allowed to bill for the difference. But I could be wrong.
