I love getting screwed over by insurance coverage

[gontleman 0]

Total mistake to pay for the crap I've paid for while being employed by this temp agency. The company I actually work for uses the temp firm to do most of it's hiring so for 3 months I had to work for the temp firm. Well it's been just over 3 months. During that time I was paying for medical insurance (close to $100 per month) and apparently, they wouldn't cover my 2 doctors appointments because of the primary diagnosis. (They apparently wanted me to go to a specialist as opposed to a family doctor.) And now they aren't covering my $100 blood test either.

Total paid to insurance: $350.
Total covered by insurance: $0.
Total paid out of pocket: $240.

Screwed myself. What a waste.

$100 a month insurance only covers sewing your head back on during non peak hospital hours.

If you (or your doctor) hasn't appealed it, appeal it. It's worth a shot.

At least Aetna and BCBS covered my prescription without the need to pay for it out of pocket then seek reimbursement. Frankly I'll just be happy to get back under a bigger provider that is a little more... "current" with quality coverage practices. After, of course, I go 3 months w/o insurance as I actually become employed by the company I work for.

Try running your own company/being an entrepreneur... $633.52 a month for insurance. Covers the basics plus the typical "if I get hit by a bus" scenarios.

It's more painful than actually getting sick.

If you are 21 or younger or 26 or younger & a student, you should still be legally intitled to coverage under either of your parents policies!
