My insurance company is scamming me.

[Woodznutz]

My health insurance company is owned by my provider, clearly a conflict of interest. I get a diagnosis right away but treatment is always scheduled months away. When I arrive for treatment the waiting rooms are virtually empty, no backup. I believe my provider colludes with the insurance company to delay treatment until I'm in a new deductible year so I'll pay the maximum out of pocket, saving the insurance company money. They also tried to scam me once before by adding an 'out of network' doctor to my case who was not covered by my insurance. I would have had to pay for a doctor that shouldn't even have been in the operating room in the first place. Or, it could have been a 'phantom' doctor that didn't even exist.

I assume you meant "My previous health insurance company", because no sane person would continue paying for insurance like that.

Funny how that happens. A little over 30 years ago I had a major surgery. When the bills started to arrive, I couldn't believe how many people were in that room with their hands out that I had never heard of before.

My company provides it. I have no choice.

During my working years, I was insured through the union and I saw the same kind of garbage through that policy. Insurance is a study in fine print.

Sure you do. Raise hell with the company. If they won't change insurers, find another job. But for ****'s sake stop demanding that other people bail you out for your own dumb decisions.

That’s ******* hilarious

If you were an honest man, you wouldn’t have taken any of those union benefits

I didn't make any dumb decisions. The company changed insurers to save money.

Stand up to the line answer the question

My question was my answer since I don't understand the reason for the statement.

 

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

No medicare?

.

Medicare A, which would cover some of the hospital bill if I was in a catastrophic situation, like a car wreck. But I also wear a DNR bracelet, so.........

So the diabolical Trump somehow engineered the corruption of Employee Sponsored Healthcare? And tell us how he might have done that.

The fix to your problem is very simple… you need to bear more pro-active in the scheduling of your appointments and treatments. You need an MEI or CT scan, call the scheduling office for the medical center yourself once you have the referral. Ask forctgecfirdtvacailable appointment, or five them a specific date you want to be seen.,

Be proactive, not reactive
