Just so tired of almost every time a doctor submits stuff to insurance, we have to be the ones to make multiple phone calls to both the doctor’s office and insurance to iron everything out, figure out what the issue is (it’s always a different issue), and basically be the go-between for the office and insurance. What am I paying $500+/month for?! It’s like paying for the privilege of having an exhausting part-time job.

And yes, I understand that insurance wants to weasel out of paying anything, but this isn’t even shadiness, just straight up incompetence and lack of communication/following procedures. The amount of emotional energy we have to spend untangling this stuff leaves us drained.

    It’s beyond belief, but insurance companies do the same thing to amputees.

      Oh I know, I had a family member make the joke about suddenly regrowing a limb

      It’s disgusting and absolutely should result in anyone who’s ever approved that being put against the wall for their pure evil

      Any hassle they can create to manufacture a reason to deny coverage.

      It’s not “beyond belief” it’s disgustingly evil.
