Blue Cross won’t approve surgery. My heart’s going crazy and I’m at the end stage of a potentially fatal disease, and they denied my claim. Why? Because my disease is too weird. Damn them. That’s just wrong.
Thank heavens for the military. Thanks to them, I still have another option. I just called them and wow, big surprise, they were actually compassionate and helpful. They said they’d try to get it approved as quickly as possible and they don’t foresee any difficulties. Yet again the military healthcare system is proving the nay-sayers wrong. I’ve never had better care from anyone else, and I’ve been through a lot of medical problems. They paid millions of dollars worth of medical bills for me, and never once denied anything. Now if only every other insurance company could behave that way.
*sigh* I want a toy…
And hey, they’re my new bosses! How cool is that?
Having dealt with the military healthcare (Tricare) for a very long time, for a chronic condition…meh. It has been terrible. Referals expire to doctors after 6 months, and I have to get a new one. Try this times 3 different doctors for different things. Then have the military ‘doctors’ aruging with a certififed neurologist to change my medicine to another so they can use the generic. Never mind that the only thing that works is the expensive stuff. Im not trying to spit on military health care…but they have been SUCH a hassel for me. True, they have paid for most of my bills, offered me HUGE discounts for prescriptions…but getting an appointment? Meh. Getting though the referal system? Icky. I will be sad when I lose my insurance because of age…but maybe my work can offer somehting better…
Anyway, a rant. Sorry!
