 and I'm being billed nearly $30,000 for the emergency surgery and care. Any advice on how to get Medicare to pay for these bills? I'd really appreciate it. Oh, yikes, Chase. It's too bad this happened. First of all, I hope you're okay. I'm guessing you didn't take a cruise to Costa Rica. You don't mention it in your email. If you did, there are some scenarios where Medicare Part B will cover and pay something towards that. If you have Medigap coverage or a Medicare Advantage plan, that might be an avenue for you to look at to collect.
