Sorry my lingo is rather generic - Explanation of Benefits EOB is the same to me whether original Medicare or Medicare Advantage private insurer.
The OP said that there was a "supplement" I took this to mean a supplemental plan (Medigap) - but yea, you are right could be just a vocabulary confusion. The OP post is confusing like you said.
Yes, those new Medicare prior auth. things are mostly cosmetic things but if you think some of them aren't medically necessary, I'll let you have a conversation with a friend of my mom's who's eyelids droop so much she is pretty much blind.
That's why there is a prior approval procedure for these things because they could be medically necessary.
But like I said to the OP - they aren't cardiac procedures.
I am sure that if the OP gives us more info, we could probably figure it out.
