Damn Health Insurance

[BHC]

So a member here recommended an acupuncturist for my cervical spine issues, I verified with my insurance and this doctor is in network . I've had 4 sessions so far, with some positive results I didn't expect I would be 100%. Went this morning for my 5th treatment they informed me the insurance never paid for the first two sessions and they said it's a worker's comp issue.  First off I never filed a worker's comp injury in Mt life,  second I've been retired for nearly 10.5 months, the doctor's receptionist and I went over my paperwork when I filled out the new patient forms, nowhere does it say worker's comp or injury at work or such. Of course I have to call them on Monday and see what the heck is the complete cluster blank on their end. They never made such claims to physical therapy,  pain management doctor for the last two epidural, or my chiropractor

Just be happy you don't have to pay retail price for insurance.  Then you'd be even more pissed.

Yup, insurance sucks!  My wife is a retired teacher and when she was working they paid for my migraine medicine which was pretty expensive and once she retired, they said they wouldn't pay for it.

I also have prostate cancer and they denied an MRI of my prostate!

That really is pretty common, when I got hit inn the face with flying baseball bat I had the same issue, the BCBC wanted me to sign a document saying it was not a car accident claim and there was no litigation going on before they paid the hospital for my stitches and broken nose. But bottom line is once I signed off on it they paid it right away.

A phone call hopefully solves the problem. They charged me one time girl in office put wrong code in by one letter. It took a while until they figured it out. I'm glad the treatment help.

Did you tell the doctor at any time it bothered you at work before or after? Or bothering you when you are doj g a work type activity? Or they could just be taking a shot to gwt out from under it..
