Vent, I'm so frustrated

I just gotta get this out so I don't scream or cry here at work. Dealing with insurance companies is a part-time job!! I have an insurance plan that requires referrals for everything. And because I go to so many freaking doctors and need so many tests it's a regular occurence. It's so frustrating. I just spent almost an hour calling around trying to get schedulled for a PET Scan that I have been waiting on for over a month. I had to call, my PCP, specialist, imaging facility coordinator and insurance company (twice) to get it all coordinated. I live in NJ but all of my care is happening in PA. They are in network but out of state so that makes it intersting. Ugh. And now I am waiting to hear back on my appt date and time.

I am blessed to have insurance and God knows I am thankful for it, but they certainly dont' make it easy! I can't imagine what a person who is elderly or disabled or not fluent goes through. It's a crime IMO. If I am this frustrated I can't imagine what other people go through. I can easily see how someone would just give up and not have tests done.

 

Vent over

Re: Vent, I'm so frustrated

  • i feel ya pain Ger! with all the insurance stuff and drs serg has been through in the past several years I know how much of a pain it can be! I really do hate insurance companies.

    Did  you know that the insurance company wouldn't cover my nieces MEDICALLY neccessary contacts when she was an infant bc even though they were medically neccessary they still fell under the "COSMETIC" category!?

    I hate dealing with these stupid companies and also having to call a billion and 1 drs so i can understand your frustration! Hang in there!

  • I am sorry that you are going through this. Insurance companies are a pain
  • Insurance companies are so hard to deal with most of the time.  I'm so sorry. :(
  • I agree it's a CRIME!!!!!  I hate insurances companies beause they don't take care of their people and look for every loop hole to get out of the bills!!!!!!!!!!
  • that totally sucks! I hope you get everything resolved and can get your scan! I can't believe they're giving you grief over that. Ugh.
  • I am so sorry that you are having to deal with all this. Insurance companies get on my nerves so bad. I had a emergency appt at the ENT and had to wait almost 4 hours to be seen waiting on my referral to get approved through insurance.

  • ugh!  I hate insurance companies as well.  When i went in to the dr. for my gallbladder they asked if i had back pain, as it is a symptom of a gallbladder attack and i did. The dr coded it out with back pain and insurance is refusing to pay saying that because i have an open claim for a car accident for back pain anything that is coded to back pain will not be paid because of the car accident.   i hate insurance!
