Insurance is your friend?

I previously called the insurance about the first batch of "Explanation of Benefits" forms that show what they would pay. They were going to re-work all of them because they were wrong (and not paying anything). I got a denial letter on the biggest item, a CAT scan. I called and the lady said that whoever did it got the formula backwards on their paying 60% till the deductible is reached and then paying 100%. She said they would re-work it. I brought up a $450 urologist consultation that it said they were not paying anything and she said that it was because there was something in the diagnosis that suggested that it was a pre-existing condition. I said that would be crazy and that I'd know if I had kidney cancer treated before. She said they sent a questionnaire to the doctor and were waiting and that should fix it.

Ridiculous and immoral.

  1. Which idiots say we have the best healthcare system in the world, again?

    I'd bet money they do that sort of thing on purpose knowing that most people won't/can't fight it.
