BC/BS Coverage Of Disc Replacement

So true Mudlakeslim! All of us just want to have our pain reduced as much as possible and be functioning, contributing members of society. No one here is looking for a free ride.

If the folks running the health insurance companies dropped their greed as you suggest, the system would probably work great.

As I just posted, nothing will end until theie business practices are challenged and I believe this will only be accomplished through the legal system. Customer service pretends to be on our side but then a letter arrives that appeal after appeal has been denied because of.....

We feel our hands are tied because to challenge their claims, we must have proof through documentation which does not as yet exist. However, denying claims in the 11th hour is negligent and possibly a cause of action.

I don't know if this falls under malpractice but with so many of us, perhaps a class action will open their eyes.

Am I sue happy, perhaps... I'm very highly principled and believe strongly that we deserve to be treated with dignity. We were wronged. Greed won't stop without a good reason.
