People contest all the time, and some times they succeed (and sometimes you don't). <br /><br />There is at least one third-party company you can turn to for assistance with contesting insurance denials.

I believe Anthem is a spin off of BCBS, which may explain why they are the way they are in light of what you've said. <br /><br />Thanks for commenting.Bev Mahonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09715290347159420532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1327421042629762651.post-66351586334993424922012-03-02T15:01:21.133-05:002012-03-02T15:01:21.133-05:00Hi Roberta,

The pharmaceutical companies in bed with the insurance companies and the doctors---keeping poor patients drugged up so they will have to keep relying on them--while the insurance companies keep taking our hard earned money and denying us coverage.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my blog.Bev Mahonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09715290347159420532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1327421042629762651.post-45797189975451082532012-02-29T22:25:37.468-05:002012-02-29T22:25:37.468-05:00Somewhere along the line, insurance companies forg...Somewhere along the line, insurance companies forgot that the reason why we take out insurance is to be able to cope when things go wrong. However, insurance companies think it is about money - their money, Like hold on - how did they get their money in the first place? Right they bought assets with our payments and by finding ways of not paying out. <br />Good luck with your heart, I think its why I hate doctors and hospitals and am glad that I live outside of the USA. <br />Oh and the insurance companies are only one way of killing off the boomers.<br />I think we need to remember how we changed the world years ago and take back the world.Roberta KISTShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533090914766907562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1327421042629762651.post-20236492713415050372012-02-28T05:56:51.244-05:002012-02-28T05:56:51.244-05:00First, I am sorry to hear about your medical condi...First, I am sorry to hear about your medical condition and situation.<br /><br />It won't help your situation to hear that this is pretty common among insurance companies.<br /><br />There was a movie starring Danny DeVito several years ago, in which, during the lawsuit against the insurance company, they had to admit that their 1st, 2nd, 3d etc way of dealing with a claim was to deny it and hope that the insured would just give up or die.....<br /><br />I was sent to the emergency room by an ER crew, spent 6 hours while the medical personnel tried to diagnose the problem, numerous tests, etc- got denied by my insurance company even though ER is fully covered under my policy. I had the hospital give me (they wanted to charge about $75 for my medical records) my medical records- I filed a formal complaint with the insurance company and had the attending physician send in a detailed letter stating that it was a medical necessity for me to have gone to the ER- anyway, I mounted a full-blown attack against their denial and they did cave in and pay for the coverage. And this was BCBS- a major insurer that pulled this kind of nonsense! Insurance companies hope you will fold up and crawl away- just keep paying the premiums.... <br /><br />Insurance companies are regulated in every state- contact the insurance licensing bureau in your state.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
