Can I say I hate insurance companies?!

Now, don't get me wrong. I know that I'm fortunate to be covered by insurance at all but when I started this last year, my doctor was in network. I found out this year when I got one of my bills that he is not longer in network. I really wished I'd known last year so that I could have put more into my flex spending account. Now I'm on the hook for an extra $2500. :thumbup: *sigh* It will work out.

Oh and then yesterday I was checking the status of my claims with the insurance company when I noticed that my hospital bill was denied by the insurance and I was on the hook for the whole thing. The reason was surgery not covered by plan. Well that's just a bit suspicious since on another page of my coverage it shows the surgery as pre-approved. I called up and they said they'd send it back to claim. :mad: I certainly hope that they fix this soon rather than later.

Here's hoping none of you are going through this!

sorry to hear about that Mac, like you said it will all work itself out. it would have been nice if someone would have advised you, that surgery might not be covered....but hopefully it was a mistake on their part. good luck w/everything!!

Thanks Scorpioqt,

I'm sure it's all someone's FUBAR but it is really irritating. Since I did go through all the qualification processes and the doctor has that authorization from the insurance company I think its just them playing games. My daughter used to work for UHC and she said they would do stuff like that and many people didn't question it but paid.
