Marisa Mellett, based in Texas, is an established non-participating provider of Medicare. Medicare is a federal health insurance program. It is for people who are 65 years old or older. It is also for younger people with disabilities and end-stage renal disease or ESRD. Medicare works with your other insurance to coordinate who is going to pay first. As a provider, she can charge up to 15% more than Medicare’s approved amount for the cost of rendered services. This is besides the normal deductible and coinsurance costs of a Medicare beneficiary.
