So pissed and discouraged by Blue Cross

I have been arguing with blue cross over the last month and I am very frustrated....I made my initial consult in November....it was three months nutrition classes at that time...my daughter then had E-coli and salmonella and then it was the holidays and one thing led to another.....of course as always I came last....I finally got back to the doc in March for my nutrition classes and found they had changed it to 6 months...well, that then put me past the summer time...I am a teacher and I had planned to do it over the summer and my dang deductible will go up to 5,000.00 in September....I am on a school calendar year for insurance...if I could do it now it would be only about 400.00 total for everything.....

It is very frustrating and depressing.....I went again last night to another nutrition class so I could get my second one done.....any suggestions on fighting with the insurance???

UGH

Sorry about your frustrations with insurance. When did you go to your first nutrition class? Can you call back and ask them if you are grandfathered in because you started back in November when requirements were 3 months.

I have not fought with insurance because I was a self pay. At least you have an opportunity at insurance paying. If all else fails look at the bright side, you could be paying 100% like IEGAL.

Which Blue Cross do you have? I have the federal and I only have 3 months. Maybe your doctors office can help you? I would defintely fight it.

I second that- ask your doctor to help you fast track as you are a teacher and need to do it at that time. Also, doesn't starting in November count?
