I guess it is the status quo with the insurance companies.<BR/><BR/>I definitely try to get in under the deductible. Unfortunately, I will still have to pay out at some point because I do require scans, etc. and have so many med bills...even with ins! And my doc has graciously opened a slot for me next week but I have a pre-existing appointment and so might get stuck with a January bill. :(<BR/><BR/>An interesting thing happened in my pCP's office today. No big deal but the way she said it was interesting. As I was checking out to leave, doing the co-pay, etc., the receptionist after looking at her computer screen...very seriously..yet a tad baffled said..."Your insurance pays quickly!" I said, "I know..they have a good turn around time "2 or 3 weeks.", to which she said.."Unless that is a payment from your last visit?" i told her no, because I hadn't been in since August and that they do pay quickly. They also compensate well in the doctor's office.<BR/><BR/>Anyway...what struck me is the way she said it...that it was almost surreal to her.<BR/><BR/>I have had this same insurance sine 1989 and so I don't have personal experience with other reimbursement plans. <BR/><BR/>But I have learned a lot through reading the medblogs.<BR/><BR/>Anyway... if one company can pay this quickly...why can't they all do that?<BR/><BR/>And why is it such a cat an mouse game?<BR/><BR/>Assuming all the info is submitted correctly...it should just be logical and an automatic response resulting in payment of appropriate funds.SeaSprayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07906503090688697222noreply@blogger.com
