Health Insurance

I seem to be having a run of misunderstandings with my insurance company lately. I had PT a few months ago. I went to a place that had just officially split off from its original group. It's still part of the parent company so I was certain it was in-network. Well, try explaining that to your insurance company! We have gone around and around on this one.

The owner said they were trying to get it straightened out and to not pay the bill until they did. Guess what? Yesterday I got a letter saying I was overdue and pay up or go to collections. Sigh. I called and explained what was going on to the person on the phone. I said I had talked to Dave. She said "Well, he's a therapist - he can't say anything." I told her actually he is the owner. Then she told me that the onwers and doctors have no say about their billing. This got weirder and weirder. She did finally get me to the insurance person who assured me that yes, there was a problem and it was being resolved. Sigh.

I don't know if insurance companies are getting tougher or things are so complicated that it's hard to get it all right! How about you?
