It is over $22,000!
It is saying this service is "specifically EXCLUDED from our coverage". SERIOUSLY?!?!?!?
(By the way, we pay $850 per month, over $10,000 per year, to have this crappy plan - with Blue Shield of CA - with a $6ooo family deductible PLUS then we pay 20% of all charges up to an additional $4000. We PAID all that in Jan/Feb of this year because Mr. M had spine surgery... so this should be covered at 100%, which is why I was happy to allow him to go into the hospital... why not take advantage of the coverage we HAVE?)
There is NO REASON this should not be covered.
I am DYING.
But at least Mr. M is dry for right now and handling it for himself for now...
Oy Vey. Maybe you can call the billing department and aske them to code it another way so it's covered. Come on, Blue Shield, you're ridiculous!
ReplyDeleteThanks Elizabeth.
ReplyDeleteBecause Mr. M is sober for a few minutes right now, I told him about the bill and HE called. Today I got the new EOB saying they paid for this stay.
1 down, 1 to go!
