MLapointe Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 I'm fighting with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida over my out patient bills. What a pain in the azz this is getting. My out patient facility says its covered BCBS says it's not under these conditions and I ask them what conditions are different and they can't tell me without calling another number. I call the other number and it's an invalid number so I call back and verify that I got the right number and it's the same number so I tell them that and they tell me oh no that's the right number. I used to be a republican but up until I got my pulmonary condition and wen't through all of this crap up until now I switched to a demacrat. Now I really wish the United States had nationwide healthcare but thanks to Bush and his fellow party members my vote for nationwide healthcare when Bill was in office was a waste of time and it's just going down hill from here. I can't work because I'll have an attack with my lungs so I end up getting longterm disibility through where I used to be able to work at and out of that money I get per month I have to pay BCBS of Florida approx 400 dollars/month to cobra my insurance. Anyone who is in my shoes with their own circumstances please reply if you have an alternative to all of this crap that your using now or that you would like to have in the future.

JohnnyCanuck Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 Is your plan an employer group plan or an individual one? If it is a group plan, contact your employer's pension and benefits department for particulars about coverage. Each employer negotiates different coverages. So, the same insurer may provide similar plans to several different employers but they are not all the same. If it is individual, the law requires that they provide you with a copy of the plan. If the copy you have says it is covered, it doesn't matter if they have changed the coverage ... they must notify you in writing with a new policy or amended policy document.

MLapointe Posted April 30, 2002 Author Share Posted April 30, 2002 I read the policy and with test stuff that was done the policy says it's covered but BCBS won't tell me what service my facility performed isn't covered so that is what I'm trying to find out now. Like I said I called the number they gave me and the number is no good and I've tried to tell them that but they keep on telling me that the number is good and that there is no other number or department that can answer my question which is what service is not covered that I had. The main thing that's happening here is this. "I'M GETTING THE RUN AROUND SHOVED RIGHT UP MY BEHIND" Enough said, it's as simple as this!!!!!
