I Getting ready to fight AvMed. I haven't started yet and I would appreciate some advice and feedback about other peoples battles.

Thank you

I didn't have to fight too much with my insurance company, but I did have to stay on top of everything. For starters I would keep a running diary of every person I talk to, when I talked to them, their phone number and extension, what was said, and what you are planning on doing next. It really helps if you can establish a relationship with one person at the insurance company and deal with them EVERY time you call or write. All too often when I call in I get a different person each time who looks my file up on the computer and spits out "company policy". Good luck in your endeavor.

Hi Tad,

I had my own insurance battle and won, and help other people with insurance issues all the time in my work. Jerry's advice is excellent, and I'd also say that it's very important that you understand exactly what your plan does and does not cover. The worst thing is to be fighting the *wrong* battle or answering the *wrong* questions. Research your policy first, and then proceed on that basis.

Please don't hesitate to come here and ask questions. Every policy, every person's situation, and the rules in every state are different, of course, but there may be people who have faced the exact same issue(s) that you're up against and can help.
