Q How can I submit a Doctor's Prescription?
A When oredering items that require BLN to have a written prescription from your doctor or when selecing 'Bill to Insurance", a Doctor's Signature is required. In in order to complete your order, you must submit to BLN a doctor's prescription(s). We provide three (3) options for doing so:
Option 1 - Print out this order form and have your doctor sign on the line indicated and mail completed order to Better Living Now, Inc. Note: This option is fine for all home medical equipment, medical appliances and supplies (as required by law or insurance rules). For prescription medication, the law requires your doctor to write the prescriptions on his own prescription pad. (Please see option two.)
or
Option 2 - Print out and submit this order form and bring to your doctor to request one (1) doctor's written prescription for each of the items that indicate requiring one.
or
Option 3 - Submit this order requesting BLN to contact your doctor and obtain all necessary prescriptions required by law or insurances rules. a. You must supply BLN with the necessary doctor's information (i.e. name, address, and phone number) for us to make required contact.
b. You doctor may deny our requests and require an office visit with you first. BLN will communicate any such delays with you promptly. Please make sure you have provided us with a way to contact you (i.e. phone number, e­mail address, etc.)

Q When I fill out the enrollment form, I received an error about missing information. Then, I click the back button and all of the form fields that I had already filled out are now blank!....is there a way to avoid having to re-enter all of the information?
A Generally, this is caused by setting son your browser. There are browser settings that may be preventing your form from retaining the data entered in the fields. Please check your browser cache and security settings. These can usually be found in a 'tools' or 'internet options' section. For example, in Internet Explorer 6.0 check the following: Tools > Internet Options > General Tab. Press 'Settings' button found in the middle section. Under 'Check for newer versions of stored pages', make sure 'automatically' is checked. Also under Tools > Internet Options > Advanced Tab, scroll down to the bottom. Under the 'security' heading, make sure 'Do not save encrypted pages to disk' is UNCHECKED.

Q What is a deductible?
A Your deductible is the amount you must pay each year before your insurance or Medicare plan starts paying your claims. The Medicare Part B deductible currently is $100 for each Medicare beneficiary. This is your out-of-pocket expense. However, some supplemental or Medigap insurance companies pay for the $100 deductible. You will need to contact them to verify if this is a covered expense. Your insurance plan or Medicare will apply your deductible on the first claims that are processed--regardless of the order they were submitted. Useful information about your deductible is in your Medicare Summary Notice (MSN) or explanation of benefits (EOB). You'll receive a MSN/EOB for most services you receive. It will explain what amounts were applied toward your deductible and/or co-insurance (see next). It will also tell you which provider to pay and how much.

Q What is the co-insurance amount mean?
A The percent of the Medicare/Private Insurance “approved amount” that you have to pay after you pay the deductible for Part A and/or Part B. In the Medicare Plan, the co-insurance payment is twenty (20%) percent of the approved amount for the service. Coinsurance (Assignment) - The percentage of the Medicare/Private Insurance “approved amount” that you have to pay after you pay the deductible for Part A and/or Part B. In the conventional Medicare Plan, the co-insurance payment is twenty (20%) percent of the approved amount for the service.
> Back to Top

Q What is the co-pay amount mean?
A The dollar amount you must pay towards your covered prescription medication or supplies, after paying any applicable deductible amounts. Generally, there is one co-pay amount applied to Brand Name medications and a different co-pay amount (generally lesser) for Generic medications.
