Will Medicare or Medicaid pay my doctor bills due to an auto accident?

I was in an auto accident with my sister and nephew back in January. My sister was driving, my nephew in the back seat and myself in the front passenger seat. While driving down the street. This truck come speeding in reverse down a private drive way and slams into us. Anyway… The pip ran out on the insurance (Nationwide) and my pain specialist doctor tells me that my insurance (Medicare / Medicaid) wont cover the remaining balance because its due to an accident.

My reading of the rules seems to indicate its more a matter of the type of treatment than the cause, but I want to be clear that I am not 100% sure of this, the medicare site is rather vague.

It looks like Medicare does not cover pain management for non-chronic conditions, which an accident would fall under. Other medical care may still be covered. Also it depends on what Medigap or other coverage you may have.

It’s possible you may need to sue the original driver to cover/recover those costs.

Pocket Bike Moped law?

I wanted a pocket to be considered a moped. cagllari 47-49cc
I don’t want to hear it’s not possible.

Most states require a street legal bike (mopeds, scooters, motorcycles, etc…) to be EPA/DOT certified. According to the cagllari web site the 47-49cc bikes are not EPA compliant for street use.

In some states, smaller bikes less than 50cc are exempt from the EPA emission rules. According to the state website here are the rules. It would seem that seat height is not an issue, neither are tags, insurance, etc… You could always try calling the Department of Driver’s Services to ask them.
